Tan Tiyuan, the puppet king, persuaded Wang Haiyang: "King Kang, the enemy retreats, the banner is not chaotic, the formation is not orderly, I am afraid that it will be deceitful." ”

Wang Haiyang disagreed, stroked his palms and laughed: "Gong Jichang is a reckless man, brave and unscrupulous, and he will be captured by us." ”

Tan Tiyuan looked at the soldiers of the Jingyi Battalion who were gradually leaving, and found a commander with a big head and riding a white horse, he recognized this person as Rong Weishan, the guerrilla general of the Jingnan Army, and couldn't help but be stunned: "It's not good, Rong Madman is in the army, and Shiling is estimated to be unable to hold it." ”

Wang Haiyang held a single-hole telescope, Rong Weishan appeared in the field of vision, and then put down the telescope: "What is there to worry about, they are only thousands, we have tens of thousands, this time I must personally cripple this little beggar!" ”

"Woo-woo-"

The sound of the horns became more and more agitated, and the blue wolf army in dozens of earthen buildings was ready to fight, just waiting for Wang Haiyang to send the command gun for counterattack.

Due to Tan Tiyuan's advice, Wang Haiyang did not shoot in the end, and watched as the Jingnan army withdrew until it disappeared. In fact, this was a good time for the Blue Wolf Army to launch a counteroffensive against the Jingnan Army, but because Wang Haiyang was too cautious, he missed the opportunity.

On the other side, Gong Jichang retreated to the woods in the hilly area a few miles away with the soldiers of the Jingyi Battalion and hid himself. As long as Wang Haiyang and the others rushed out of the tulou, they would use the most advanced artillery to target the gate of the tulou from all directions and bombard. Gong Jichang saw that the strategy of "luring the snake out of the hole" did not work, and he was not anxious, he knew Wang Haiyang's tactics well, Wang Haiyang never fought a battle that he was not sure of, and now relying on the tulou, he confronted the besieging Jingnan army, and he was waiting for the troops of the king Li Shixian to come and converge.

The soldiers of the Jingyi Battalion stayed in the mountains and forests for three days, and they slept in the open air, but they did not see Wang Haiyang open the door to fight. It seems that he is planning to exhaust Gong Jichang's grain and grass, wait for work, and then launch a surprise attack to counter the Jingyi battalion.

Five days later, Gong Jichang was a little impatient and ordered a fierce attack on Tulou, but he was defeated by the blue wolf army and lost hundreds of elites.

To this end, Gong Jichang convened a temporary emergency military meeting to gather the generals above the general level into the camp tent to discuss how to attack the tulou. Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, and they were frustrated in attacking the tulou, and they felt very uncomfortable.

Zhu Rongchu looked around, these generals were all experienced in a hundred battles, and they couldn't be honest, he said very cautiously: "Everyone don't have to be depressed. The sharp weapon in the cannon is used by both offensive and defensive divisions. It should be heavy, and it should be light. The enemy has no artillery, and the enemy has no us, and this is the advantage of our army. To kill and injure the enemy's commanders, you must use long artillery. ”

Gong Jichang didn't quite understand what Zhu Rongchu said: "Brother, is it good to be popular?" I don't understand. ”

Zhu Rongchu took a sip of tea and continued: "The fortifications of the tulou are extremely strong, and the grain storage is sufficient, but most of the tulou are wooden and flammable. We have a limited number of shells, so we can't waste them at will, and we can give full play to the role of firearms, drop rockets and arrows into the city, and burn their food, grass and weapons......"

Gong Jichang disagreed, and asked: "The tulou is so high, firearms can't enter at all." What do you have to do? ”

Zhu Rongchu continued: "Surround but not fight, cut off all connections between Shiling and the periphery. ”

Gong Jichang was puzzled: "We don't have enough food, winter is coming soon, and we can't withstand the war of attrition." ”

Rong Weishan said: "Didn't General Xi Qitian say that if you don't have it, you will go to rob and fight to feed the war." ”

"No, you can't. The people of Shiling are also the people of my Qinghe country, how can I rob them? Gong Jichang vetoed Rong Weishan's proposal, and said to Zhu Rongchu, "Brother, don't go around the bush, tell me how to encircle the law?" ”

Zhu Rongchu said: "Our army's reserve is divided into two groups, one group is ready to counter-break out, and the other group joins our engineer battalion, cutting trees, digging soil, moving stones to build earthen buildings, and when the earthen buildings are completed, our army can clearly monitor the enemy's movements from the watchtower, and advance step by step......

Gong Jichang took a few shots in the marching case: "Good idea!" Or brother, if you have a way, just do what you do! ”

So, four thousand cavalry joined the ranks of the engineer battalion. In less than half a month, more than a dozen of them rose from the ground, greatly surpassing the tallest earthen buildings of the Hakka people.

The soldiers of the "Xi Family Army" were condescending and monitored the movements of the defenders in the tulou around the clock, which caused great fear in Wang Haiyang's heart. At the same time, the cavalry of the 1,000th Elite Battalion carried out field clearance in the small towns on the outskirts, driving out all the inhabitants and creating a large area of no man's land.

During the day, the "special forces" of the Jingyi Battalion fell asleep and became active at night. Archers and crossbowmen shot the improved *** in batches at the Hakka tulou, the wind was very strong, and many rockets with flammable materials and **arrows with **bags were extinguished before they hit the target. However, there are still some ** arrows that hit the grain and grass warehouse in the tulou, and the flames took advantage of the wind, the more they burned, the more vigorous, and spread rapidly, and it didn't take long for the tulou to become a sea of fire.

Wang Haiyang ordered the firefighting team to try to extinguish the fire, and under the light of the fire, the Blue Wolf Army became the target of the Xi Family's army one by one, and countless soldiers and Hakka people were shot and killed.

Many lively tulou were burned to rubble overnight, and as long as there was a fire after that, Wang Haiyang did not dare to bring people out to put out the fire.

After the "Xijia Army" surrounded Shiling for two months, the food in the tulou was exhausted, and some enemy troops wanted to break through the siege by night, but they were all surrounded and annihilated.

One morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the horns in the tulou sounded, and the blue wolf army poured out of the nest and launched a counter-charge against the Jingyi battalion.

Wang Haiyang, Tan Tiyuan and others rode war horses, rushed to the forefront, and pounced on Gong Jichang and Rong Weishan.

"Big brother, you are the boss, let me deal with Wang Haiyang." Rong Weishan drew his sword.

"You were busy for most of the night last night, how can you do it?" Gong Jichang pulled out the Lock Dragon Divine Sword.

"It's okay, I'm in good health, and defeating the traitor Wang Haiyang is my ultimate goal!" Rong Weishan slapped his horse and rushed out of the battle formation.

So, Rong Weishan and Wang Haiyang wrestled in front of the battle, and the two sides fought for a quarter of an hour. Wang Haiyang gradually lost his physical strength, Rong Weishan slashed on Wang Haiyang's back, his bones were exposed, and Wang Haiyang fell off the horse. Hundreds of wolf troops surrounded him, desperately protecting Wang Haiyang, and Rong Weishan was strangled together, and in the chaos, Wang Haiyang was able to escape. Rong Weishansheng's plan to capture Wang Haiyang fell through.

By the time Gong Jichang led the reserve team to rush over, Rong Weishan had been cut down more than a dozen times and was bleeding profusely, and he was still fighting with the broken wolf army. Less than 10,000 of the tens of thousands of blue wolf troops in Shiling broke through the siege......

The little beggar Rong Weishan was promoted to the commander of the right battalion of the "Jingyi Battalion" because of his outstanding military exploits. Gong Jichang is the commander of the left battalion, two difficult brothers, from Jingnan to the west of Nanyue County, and still did not stop.

Lala, who was in Kyoto, was overjoyed to receive credit from Xi Qitian for Gong Jichang, Rong Weishan and others, and he did not hesitate to play.

Ten days later, Xiao Guizi, a eunuch sent by the imperial court, took a group of people to Shiling and read the holy decree to Gong Jichang-

The system said: Outside the outside of the Gong, the responsibility of the special master, the achievements in the division, the reputation of the general, and the grace of the Gancheng Award.

Celebrate the first day of October in the fourth year (Treasure of the Edict)

……

There are a total of three holy decrees, and three generations of edicts (grandparents, parents, Gong Jichang himself).

Gong Jichang, who was kneeling on the ground and listening to the decree, didn't know what the eunuch said, and after he finished reading it, he shouted vigorously: "Minister Gong Jichang received the decree and thanked him, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Xiao Guizi smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone, get up." ”

Gong Jichang happily accepted the holy decree, but he didn't see the silver, so he asked: "Father-in-law Gui, what does it mean that the Queen Mother has given a registered general soldier to the humble position?" ”

Xiao Guizi said with a smile: "Because of the huge loss and the empty treasury of the imperial court, it can't afford to give rewards, so it invented the official positions of named admiral and registered general soldier, which are just fictitious, not that you can take office immediately, but just a name...... There are more than 20,000 registered soldiers and more than 5,000 registered commanders, and it is flooded...... However, spiritual encouragement is the mainstay, supplemented by material rewards, and when the treasury is full, the Queen Mother will give you a reward. ”

Gong Jichang nodded and smiled slightly: "Oh, the last general understands." "I scolded in my heart, Lala's, you are a stingy ghost, Lao Tzu fought bloodily, he didn't give a single son, and Lao Tzu still fought a hairy battle! I'm bah, defend the country and defend the country, high-sounding!

Xiao Guizi asked, "General Gong, where is your wife?" ”

Gong Jichang said: "Back to Father-in-law Gui, the insiders are in their hometown." ”

"I heard that your wife is the eldest princess of the pseudo-blue wolf country, but is there such a thing?" Xiao Guizi asked suddenly.

"It's groundless, it's a shadowless thing." Gong Jichang shook his head again and again.

"It's good if not, or you'll hit your head." Xiao Guizi patted Gong Jichang on the shoulder, then got on the horse and left with his entourage.

After Xiao Guizi and his party left, Gong Jichang scolded: "Damn, the blue wolf country has long been over, where is the eldest princess!" ”
