Happy New Year, Xiaolong wishes everyone good health and peace.

——————

The tranquility after the night attack did not last long, and the next morning, the Jin army outside the dock fort began to officially prepare for the siege.

However, with last night's night attack as a foreshadowing, this scene during the day did not bring much pressure to the Yan army in the dock fort.

When the Jin army outside the dock fort was preparing to advance step by step, the Yan army on the wall of the dock fort was chatting and eating the hot dry food sent up.

There was already food in this dock fort, and the most important thing was that when Zheng Fan came out of Cuiliu Fort, it could be said that he brought all the baggage he could take away, so there was no shortage of food in this fort at the moment.

The white flour steamed bun is filled with shredded radish with some meat foam, which is hot after steaming, and it is served as a dish and a staple food with a large bowl of hot water.

Xue San muttered to the blind man while gnawing:

"Stuffed ones are all called buns."

"It's steamed buns, and those with pure meat filling are called buns."

The blind man ate slowly and methodically as he slammed back.

The customs are different in different places, and the names are naturally different, but at the moment, the blind man and Xue San still have the leisure to argue about this, which proves that they are very confident in the siege that the Jin army is about to start.

And it is, and it is.

When the war drums of the Jin army began to beat, the siege battle officially began.

Zheng Fan still stayed in his prime position, with his back against the coffin where Shatuo Que was lying on the stone, and Liang Cheng was not by his side this time, but went to the other side.

However, Ah Ming and Siniang have been protecting Zheng Fan on both sides, which is the lowest standard.

Zheng Fan rubbed his fingers against the hard bow in his hand, tilted his head slightly, and began to look at the situation below through the gap between the battlements.

To tell the truth, the problems faced by the Jin army are similar to those of the Yan army, with many cavalry and a lack of infantry, of course, this does not mean that the proportion of cavalry in the Jin army is higher than that of the Yan people, in fact, the Situ family in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty has mainly focused on cavalry, after all, if you want to fight with the savages in the Tianduan Mountains and the Northeast Snow Field, you can't let the soldiers run on the snow field with their legs.

The Wen family and the Helian family had a good infantry configuration, but they were basically destroyed in that battle.

And Yu Huacheng's troops and horses were previously recruited and expanded in the name of the Jin Emperor, in this era, you don't have horses, and it is difficult for you to flee back as a rout, for various reasons, resulting in a very classic scene now, cavalry attacking the city.

Zheng Fan was cautious anyway, and he began to feel sorry for the Jin generals on the opposite side, after all, letting the cavalry dismount and act as infantry to climb and siege the city, as long as it was a general with a normal brain, he would be so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Moreover, it is not clear whether he was worried about the impact of his reputation, or whether the warlords in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty remembered that they were all locals of their hometowns, and a scene similar to Li Fusheng's persecution of civilians to fill the city in Shangjing City was not staged here.

When the Jin army began to advance in a phalanx, a very embarrassing scene appeared, and the shield ration of this army and horses was seriously insufficient.

Many of the Jin soldiers in the front row were holding pieces of wood from the door panels or tables and chairs that had been demolished from the houses in nearby villages.

Plus it's daytime again, and it's a fair environment, you can see me clearly, and I can see you clearly.

Zheng Fan's soldiers and barbarians accounted for the majority, and that one-handed archery was even more capable of eating, and after the Jin army array entered the firing range, the Yan army on the city wall immediately began to shoot with arrows.

In the face of this extremely strong arrow, the Jin soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and the Jin crossbowmen behind began to press at this time, and began to shoot at the Yan army on the city wall.

After Zheng Fan shot seven arrows in a row, he began to rest, silently regulating his qi and blood.

At this time, the Jin army under the city wall began to erect a cloud ladder to climb.

The fighting between the two sides began to intensify, but after all, the defenders of the city occupied an absolute advantage, and the Jin army was able to maintain the division of labor in the formation at first, and when the battlefield became white-hot, it completely entered a state of ignorance, and there was no level at all, which made the pressure on the city wall reduced a lot.

The silk thread in Siniang's hand went down the wall buttress, and the two ladders in front of him, before the Jin soldiers climbed up, the ladders had already fallen apart from the middle.

Ah Ming is like a machine of Mo feelings, winding it with a crossbow, getting up, shooting it down, squatting down, continuing to wind it, getting up, and shooting it out again.

Because his frequency was too fast, he attracted the attention of many Jin army crossbowmen below, so it didn't take long for several arrows to hang on his body.

Zheng Fan sometimes simply pulls out the arrow directly from Ah Ming,

Shoot yourself again,

It can be said to be the most efficient recycling.

Similar to last night's way of elite troops, it was not used again today, and the two sides fought like this until the afternoon, and the Jin army left a corpse and then Mingjin withdrew the troops.

The battle was very fierce, but there was really no "shaky" posture.

After the Jin army retreated, the people in the dock fort began to prepare meals, and the soldiers began to seize the time to rest.

In fact, there were still burning hot oil rolling wood and other equipment to defend the city, but Liang Cheng didn't order to use it, because it was not yet that time.

After the Jin people retreated, Liang Cheng came to Zheng Fan's side to check the situation.

"The Jin army is going to retreat?" Zheng Fan was still a little incredulous, he thought that it would be a vicious battle during the day, but now he has a sense of loss that "you will fall before I exert my strength".

This is completely different from the expected battle array, there is not much blood, there is no excitement, everyone is more like the parts of the city wall are running mechanically.

"Back to the Lord, the armor soldiers on our side are all elite, and even the hundreds of cavalry brought by the Jin Emperor are all good in the army, in this situation, the other party only wants to forcibly break the city with some cloud ladders, and there is basically no possibility."

The implication is that unless the Jin army comes slowly and takes some more time to build more siege equipment, it is possible to pose a real threat to the Yan army in the dock fort.

"Why don't you feel as nervous as you were last night?" Zheng Fan asked curiously.

"Lord, our people defended the city for the first time last night."

"Oh, too."

Zheng Fan nodded.

"The lord can go down to rest first, the Jin army has lost a lot of losses now, and it will be difficult for them to launch an attack today."

"Okay."

Zheng Fan believed in Liang Cheng's judgment and experience, and he was not pretentious, so he got up and went down the city wall.

Siniang still had to help some soldiers stitch up their wounds, so she didn't come down with Zheng Fan.

The blind man was still doing mobilization work, Xue San secretly went out of the dock fort and hid in the suburbs after the Jin army stopped attacking the city, and Fan Li was busy carrying sand, gravel and soil bags to help strengthen the city defense.

There was only one Ah Ming left to accompany Zheng Fan down, last night there were a lot of glowing cubs on the city wall, Ah Ming's water bladder became bulging again, take a few steps and take a sip, that look is really comfortable.

The dock fort is also so big, and the room where Zheng Fan rests is next door to the Jin Emperor, which is the best two rooms in the dock fort.

As soon as he approached, Zheng Fan heard a cry from the next room, and his tone was frustrated.

"Is this self-defeating to the point of self-abandonment?"

Zheng Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, before yesterday, Emperor Jin was still a rather majestic emperor, and even once in Zheng Fan's heart, there were still some shadows of Goujian.

But now,

The soldiers on the outer walls had just experienced a slaughter,

He Jin Huang actually started his own expedition here.

The backlash of the army outside marks that the land of Gyeonggi, the old nest of the Jin Emperor, has also changed hands, and it can be said that the Jin Emperor's qualification to play the card table has been deprived.

Although he didn't really have the qualifications to bet on the table, he could at least stand by and wait to get the money.

If someone loses too much, he might be able to take over the fight for someone else.

Now they don't even have the qualifications to watch the game.

"Lord, my subordinates feel that this Jin Emperor is not so much a political blow and injury, but rather a frustration and despair in the love field."

"People are already so unlucky, so don't be so ridiculous."

"The Lord has taught me."

"The land of Gyeonggi is gone, but I don't know if the queen mother is safe."

"............" Ah Ming.

This sentence almost made Ah Ming cough out the blood he had just drunk.

At this moment, a woman with tattered clothes came out of the house and said to Zheng Fan and Ah Ming:

"Your Majesty, please."

Zheng Fan and Ah Ming glanced at each other, and then walked into the room where Emperor Jin was.

Emperor Jin had just finished the war, and the woman inside had just put on her clothes.

After Zheng Fan came in, he bowed:

"See Your Majesty."

In fact, when the two met yesterday, Zheng Fan was quite casual, but now, he seems to be more respectful.

But there's a clear sense of distancing in that.

Emperor Jin's face was flushed, he was drinking water with a teapot, and after putting down the teapot, he asked Zheng Fan:

"General Zheng, have the rebels outside Wubao been repulsed?"

"Back to Your Majesty, repulsed."

"General Zheng is really the god of the world!"

Zheng Fan's eyes glanced slightly, and the secret path seemed to be called the god of war, and the ending was not very good.

"With General Zheng by my side, this heart can finally be put down."

The flush on Emperor Jin's face became clearer.

The whole person's mood has become more and more excited.

This made Zheng Fan feel that something was wrong, and his eyes began to wander over the table, and he saw a puddle of silver-white powder.

Groove,

I also took it!

"General Zheng, I want to thank you well, and I want to reward you heavily!"

"Your Majesty has an overreputation, and the last general is just a duty, and he doesn't dare to be greedy."

You're poorer than Lao Tzu now,

What will you reward me?

Emperor Jin got up, walked in front of Zheng Fan, and said in a loud voice:

"Remove your armor!"

"............" Zheng Fan.

What?

Zheng Fan was stunned.

Emperor Jin frowned slightly, and shouted:

"Don't you listen to me, I said, unload the armor !!"

You're sick!

It is said that the Jin people are prevalent in men, but as an emperor, it is necessary for you to use your body to win over people?

The most important thing is that Zheng Chengshou has always been normal in that regard, and he has not had the slightest interest in Longyang.

"Remove your armor!"

Emperor Jin shouted angrily.

Zheng Fan was about to draw his sword and knock out the emperor who had a little problem with his brain,

But

Before Zheng Fan drew his knife,

The two women in the room, the two granddaughters of the old dock owner, sobbed as they took off their clothes.

Emperor Jin laughed with satisfaction:

"General Zheng, you are an expert, what do you think of the army?"
