"Who?!" The people in the city immediately panicked: "There is an ambush!" ”

"It's the official army who has arrived, open the door and let us in!" The fake rebels under the city shouted: "You can't die without help! ”

"You don't even have a suspicious identity, how can I let you in at this time!" The people of the city shouted to the fake rebels below the city as they looked around vigilantly to find the archers.

At this moment, Zhong Ye fired a few more arrows in succession, and more than a dozen people fell in response.

The rebels at the head of the city quickly hid and shouted for archers to come up.

And taking advantage of this effort, the fake rebels under the city have begun to take out the soft ladder and climb up.

Zhong Ye took a few more steps forward, but he was still out of the opponent's range.

His archery skills are superb, and he is an extraordinary deterrent to the rebels.

"It's that bearded man, he can actually pull the rhubarb crossbow alone." The rebels hiding in the city said, "Go and report to Lu Taishou!" ”

"This person can't be Zhong Ye, right?" Someone else said: "When the bearded Zhong arrives, the main force of the official army has also arrived." ”

"Didn't you say they only needed heads?!" The rest of the people were almost frightened to death when they heard Zhong Ye's name: "We are not well prepared here, but we must not open the city gate." ”

"But he's standing there, none of us can do anything about him!" Someone couldn't help but complain: "With such a person here, no number of archers are useless." ”

"I don't believe that when he wasn't tired," said a small leader of the rebels, "he is still a man no matter what, and I didn't see him with three heads and six arms." ”

Because the rebels were all cowering behind the city walls, they didn't see the fake rebels under the city climbing up.

By the time the archers arrived, the fake rebels were halfway up.

"Oh no, they're climbing up!" The rebels in the city shouted: "Most of them are deceitful! ”

"Your own people, your own people, don't do it." The fake rebels did not forget to act while crawling back.

The people of the city hesitated, but finally decided that they could not take the risk, so they began to shoot arrows at these people.

But they stood at the head of the city, and if they wanted to shoot arrows downward, they had to stick half of their bodies out, and they became a live target for Zhong Ye.

Although the people who climbed the city wall were killed and wounded, the number was not large, and the rebels in the city had already been shot dead by Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye is at the South City Gate, and the other three gates are not peaceful now.

The rebels stationed in the city all noticed that there was an enemy nearby, so they did not dare to go to the rescue, even though the men had already fought.

Lu Taishou was sleeping with Xinna's concubine in his arms, and he didn't have time to put on his clothes after being awakened by the military situation.

He was a man who was afraid of death, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to surrender obediently as soon as the rebels besieged the city.

originally thought that there were Shuozhou and Hezhou in front of him, but it would not be his turn to take the lead in Lianzhou and the official army, who would have thought that this Zhong Ye would not play his cards according to the routine.

Just when he jumped to his feet and scolded Zhong Ye's ancestor for the eighteenth generation, the south gate was about to be lost.

Some of the officers and soldiers disguised as rebels climbed the city wall, pretended to scold Zhong Ye, and shot a few more arrows, of course, in vain, but made the people in the city think that they were really their own.

After that, the men quietly stepped aside, slipped down the city, set a fire, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the rebels guarding the gates.

The rebels upstairs were frightened and hurried down to the rescue.

And the thousands of soldiers behind Zhong Ye had already rushed up, divided into several camps, some climbed the city wall, some covered below, and some hit the city gate.

Zhong Ye was still out of range, and whenever someone poked his head out of the city wall, he shot an arrow.

The rebels at the south gate were completely disorganized, and when the city gate was opened, few dared to come forward to resist, and they all scattered and fled, knowing that Zhong Ye's soldiers only needed heads.

And after Zhong Ye led people to rush into the south gate, the thousand soldiers who were responsible for shooting letter arrows. While shooting arrows, he shouted "surrender or kill".

The other three gates have also launched an attack, the rebels were originally a rabble, and they thought about resisting for fear of being killed, but now they all took off their military uniforms and knelt on the ground one by one when they heard that they would surrender and not kill.

And Lu Taishou has already fled, and timid people have an advantage, they always want to save their lives, so they will never risk their lives.

But Zhong Ye's purpose was not him, he just wanted Lianzhou City.

By the time the east turned white, the official army had already recovered Lianzhou City.

Gather your soldiers and the captured rebels in one place, and tell them that the rebellion is unfinished, and that as long as they are willing to take the blame for their crimes, they will not be held accountable for their past deeds.

He also said that the soldiers of the city should not disturb the people, and that those who disobeyed the order should not be punished immediately.

After that, the grain storage treasury was inspected, and after the registration was made, a reliable person was sent to take care of it.

He also collected the dead and wounded officers and soldiers in the siege and buried them in person.

The people of Lianzhou City have been living in dire straits since the rebels seized the city, and now Zhong Ye is here, and the military orders are strict, so that the people can live in peace, so everyone supports him very much.

Half a day later, the news that Lianzhou City was breached to Yuan Shichuan, and the whole army was in an uproar.

"Lu Zhiyuan, that waste!" Yuan Shichuan was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but scold: "I know that I will give the city to others!" ”

"General, now that Zhong Ye occupies Liancheng, what should we do?" His lieutenant asked.

"Who said that you should stand still?" Yuan Shichuan couldn't help but anger his subordinates: "As a result, I didn't move and gave Zhong Ye a chance, first pull out the one who had a bad idea and cut it down!" Leave 10,000 people to defend the city, and the rest will follow me to level Zhong Ye's two camps in Qin County! ”

The rebels have suffered consecutive defeats, and if they can't get back a game, their morale will only get lower and lower.

That was their original plan, and it was also because Zhong Ye captured Lianzhou City and did not attack it.

When the news reached the capital, no one dared to doubt Zhong Ye's loyalty, and he would even be regarded as a hero by many more people.

Yuan Shichuan was heartbroken when he thought of the grain, grass and weapons in Lianzhou City, which were necessities for war.

"General, the baggage brought by Zhong Ye is in Qin County, let's grab those things, although they can't completely offset the loss of Lianzhou City, but they can be regarded as having an explanation." The strategist beside Yuan Shichuan said.

"This bearded Zhong, I originally heard that he has lived a life of eating bran vegetables over the years, who would have thought that he would be a thief and slippery, and repeatedly spoil my good deeds." Yuan Shichuan said with a toothache: "It would be good if he was willing to surrender." ”

"General, this is indeed a solution." An adjutant general said: "It's better for us to win him over, maybe he will abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”

"How could Zhong Ye surrender?" Another scoffed: "Although this is not a good word, but if he can win the war, why should he surrender to us?" ”

"If the general is willing to give up his seat to him, there is no guarantee that he will not agree." The adjutant insisted.
