Gong Changyu walked to the table with his sword, grabbed the pieces of broken silver, and weighed them in his hand: "Deng Qian and Deng Yuan, you have a big belly, you are so brightly dressed, only a few taels of silver, can you handle it?" ”

"General, my house was also robbed by the Blue Wolf Army......" Deng Qian hesitated.

"Brother Deng, the Blue Wolf Army didn't pass by you at all." Another young man wearing sunglasses walked up and glanced at Deng Qian with disdain.

"Yu Haoming, you ......" Deng Qian was ashamed of himself.

"What am I, the direction of the tree is determined by the wind, and the direction of the person is determined by the heart!" After Yu Haoming finished speaking, he poured all the silver on the table, "This is 100 taels, I will go to the money bank to get 500 taels later, and then make up for it." ”

"Hey, Yu Haoming, I didn't call your name, what are you doing here?" Deng Qian shouted.

"Donations, you're so twisted. There are a lot of people waiting in the back. Yu Haoming found his name and asked Zhu Rongchu to write the amount of donated cash for him, and then retreated......

The rich people were afraid of hanging a plaque at the door of their homes, and in a few days, they pledged to donate one after another, and the county government received a donation of 100,000 taels of silver. Gong Changyu took Zhu Rongchu, Huang Qinggong and others to personally check the accounts of the hungry people, distribute silver taels and grain, and stipulated that his subordinates report once every three days and strictly verify to prevent poverty.

Although the Blue Wolf Army is defeated, it will still come to attack Wuyou City at any time, and the defense cannot be neglected. Gong Changyu didn't want to waste everyone's donations, so he let the soldiers of the original Jingjie battalion go home to farm, train intensively for five days, and gather to participate in unified operations if there is an emergency.

Subsequently, the "Jingjie Battalion" went to every township in Wuyou County to select and train people from house to house as a reserve force to defend Wuyou City. Six regiments were set up in Wuyou City, each regiment had a regimental commander, and each regiment selected 200 strong men, a total of 1,200 people. Gong Changyu restrained the soldiers with the method of sitting together, one person retreated timidly, and the same army had to bear the guilt, and every recruit of the Jingjie Battalion had to write and write his own paper and pen and swear to the sky; Only half of the silver salary is paid, and the other half is paid in the war.

A month later, the training of the new army yielded results, Gong Changyu was full of ambition, chose an auspicious day, ordered the slaughter of cattle and pigs, and rewarded all the soldiers. Jing Zhigang, the county commander, personally led the prestigious gentlemen of Wuyou County to inspect the exercise, and after the drill, the court collectively opened a meal and chewed rice, and everyone cheered and cheered.

Jing Zhigang was very happy, he wanted to arrest Jing Dapeng and give an explanation to the people of the city. Jing Zhigang took a total of 400 people from the first and second regiments, and on the grounds of training, he opened the city gate, and as soon as he got out of the city gate, he rushed to the north.

After two hours of rapid marching, to Wufengpu, Jing Zhigang fell into the heavy encirclement of the blue wolf army, and the commander of this blue wolf army was Jing Dapeng, he knew that this army was coming at him.

Jing Dapeng commanded the first battle since joining the blue wolf, relying on the strength of the crowd, he wanted to eat this regimental training arm that was not afraid of death in one bite, no matter who the other party was.

First of all, Jing Dapeng ordered the Blue Wolf Army to launch an artillery attack on the position where Jing Zhigang's first division was located, and after the opponent's casualties were more than half, Jing Dapeng overwhelmed all the people in front of the formation, ready to crush the opponent.

In the face of the blue wolf army, which was several times his size, the black marshal was not afraid, calm, and organized soldiers to break through. After an hour of fighting to the death, a bloody path was finally killed. Taking advantage of the protection of the night, under the protection of more than a dozen soldiers, Jing Zhigang finally picked up a life.

In this battle, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the new army of the Jingjie battalion suffered heavy losses, and less than 30 people returned alive. This is a big blow to Gong Changyu. More than 300 people were killed in the new army, and the pension of nearly 10,000 taels was not given for the time being, mainly because the strength of the defenders of the city was greatly weakened, which seriously affected morale.

Jing Zhigang was eager to win, disregarded the lives of hundreds of people, and transferred troops without authorization, if he did not deal with him, it would not be enough to establish military prestige. But Jing Zhigang is an official of the imperial court, and if he commits a crime, he has to be handed over to the Criminal Department for disposal. It's better to decide to use the black handsome Huang Qinggong as a scapegoat, but it won't work, after all, the team was not pulled out by the black handsome, and at most he didn't report it.

Gong Changyu thought about it, discussed with his staff, and unanimously decided to pretend to pull Hei Dashuai, Jing Zhigang and others out to behead the public to see how the people reacted.

The next day, on the beach at the south gate, a notice was posted at the execution site, and several prisoner carts stood by the river, and the knife and axe men were ready. When the people saw that it was the county magistrate Jing Zhigang who was beheaded, not only did they not plead, but they clapped their hands one after another. Now the problem comes, cut Jing Zhigang, Gong Changyu will be held responsible.

"What should I do?" When Gong Chang saw this scene, he was very anxious, and there were more and more onlookers. It can be seen that Jing Zhigang's image in the eyes of the people in the past two years has been damaged and damaged.

Noon is approaching, no one comes out to intercede, Jing Zhigang will really fall to the ground. At this time, Lu Zanchen, Mr. Yin and others led more than a dozen people into the execution ground, and Lu Zanchen shouted: "General, keep people under the knife-"

As soon as he saw that someone had come to intercede, the dark clouds on Gong Changyu's face instantly dispersed, but he still pretended to be very serious and said, "This brother, what do you have to say?" ”

"General, Lord Jing is an official of the imperial court, leading troops out of the city, he is crusading against his son, although he was defeated, this is a righteous act of destroying relatives, and his courage should be commendable. He should not be convicted and beheaded, and the general will think twice. Lu Zanchen clasped his fists and saluted.

"Jingzhi County does not have the power to dispatch regiments to train their arms, and it took more than 300 lives to be lost due to the transgression of the system. Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. Someone came, Jing Zhigang and Huang Qinggong each had thirty military sticks, and then they were pulled to the gate of Xuanfeng Tower, hung on the city tower, hung upside down for three days, and starved them to death! Gong Changyu shouted.

"Please take back the general's order." Zhang Weijun and hundreds of other soldiers knelt down on one knee together.

"I've made up my mind, and the baton is waiting!" Gong Changyu waved his hand, Jing Zhigang and Hei Dashuai were stripped of their shirts and pressed to the ground, and the sound of sticks crackled immediately......

It is said that as soon as the fifth month of the lunar calendar arrived, Shi Xianda personally led the main force of 30,000 people of the Blue Wolf Army to rush out of the camp, arranged more than a dozen camps outside Baocheng Mansion, built more than a dozen forts and fortifications, and then launched a comprehensive campaign to conquer Baocheng Mansion.

Dozens of battles were fought with the Qinghe army under the city, and once the Jingnan army led by Zhao Huanlian and others, and the reinforcements of Guimaotian Xingshu were surrounded in the battle array, and it was about to annihilate the Qinghe army outside the city.

All the Qinghe troops inside and outside Baocheng Mansion were surrounded by the blue wolf army, and internal and external news were cut off, but the Jingnan army defending the city relied on the city wall and favorable terrain to resist stubbornly.

Shi Xianda couldn't attack for a long time, so he imitated the tactics of the Jingnan army besieging Jiujiang, besieging but not fighting, and wanted to make the Jingnan army defending the city collapse by itself. The battle was protracted, and reinforcements from all directions of the Jingnan Army arrived one after another, attacking the exhausted Blue Wolf Army inside and outside. In particular, the elite of more than 5,300 people of Li Xuyi in Jingbei launched continuous attacks on Shi Xianda's troops, and after dozens of battles, the blue wolf army suffered heavy losses.

Shi Xianda has besieged Baocheng for more than two months, encamped for more than 100 miles, consumed huge materials, far away from Yuexi County, without the follow-up support of grain and grass, the blue wolf army has made no progress, and there is no way at all.

When the grain and grass were about to run out, Shi Xianda sighed: "Iron-beaten treasure city!" In desperation, he had no choice but to wave his hand to his subordinates, and then led a small part to retreat westward, leaving a palace queen.

In the process of retreating westward, Jing Dapeng suggested to Shi Xianda, the king of Wei, that Wuyou City was a treasure land, and that occupying this city could open up the west gate of Jingnan County, connecting Western Guangdong County with Jingnan, and advancing and retreating freely.

"There are still Xu Zongtang's pursuers behind, and our strength is less than 20,000. Wuyou City has a population of only 100,000, what is the use of this king occupying the land of projectiles? Shi Xianda was dismissive.

"King Wei, there are five true dragon qi in Wuyou City, if we successfully occupy this city, we will have a base, even if Yin Zongtang's pursuers are here, they will be helpless." Jing Dapeng continued, "There is also a Locking Dragon Divine Sword in the city, which is worth having. ”

"How about the king give you 2,000 men and horses as a vanguard to attack Wuyou City?" When Shi Xianda heard that there was a divine sword, he was very happy in his heart.

"Thank you, King Wei!" Jing Dapeng clenched his fists and said. Since eating Gong Changyu's new army, Jing Dapeng thought that the defenders in Wuyou City were vulnerable and insisted on attacking Wuyou City.

So, Jing Dapeng led the blue wolf army to kill Wuyou City with great momentum. Gong Changyu, who was waiting for work, had already prepared for the battle, and the twelve city gates were equipped with artillery, especially the two large forts at the east gate and the north gate, and fifty or sixty small forts in the city, which was enough for Jing Dapeng to drink a few pots.

Gong Changyu climbed the city tower and saw the black wolf army outside the city, he was not surprised, he had been waiting for this day for two months. He wanted to defeat Jing Dapeng, cut off his head, and pay tribute to the new army of the Jingjie Battalion who died. A day passed, Jing Dapeng stationed his team outside the city, and did not immediately attack, they just kept digging trenches and building fortifications outside the city, separated by the water and the moat, the blue wolf army did not have wooden boats, and could not cross the river. At night, a blue wolf army crossed the water from the bottom of the Yudai Bridge and tried to approach the city gate, but was shot by Zhang Weijun and their arrows under the city.

The next day, Shi Xianda arrived with a large army, and seeing that Jing Dapeng had made no progress in attacking the city, he immediately organized a death squad of 1,000 people to attack from the weakest defense of the West Gate. After a burst of fierce artillery fire, the city wall was safe and sound, and there was no way, Shi Xianda had to order the earth camp to dig a tunnel and send the blue wolf army to the city.

So, hundreds of people of the Blue Wolf Army started work together, and on the third day, the tunnel reached the bottom of the city wall, and the foundation stone was buried five to six meters deep in the ground, and those hoes and pickaxes had no way to continue digging forward. Inside the city, Gong Changyu led his soldiers to patrol along the city wall without stopping, and he didn't know how long this battle to defend Wuyou City would last.
