Another battle was won, and the morale of Nanlian City was greatly boosted. Originally, some soldiers who were wavering in their hearts, after this series of victories, had made up their minds to follow Jiang all the time. In the troubled times, they don't ask for anything else, but to be able to live in peace.

On the contrary to this, in the enemy camp, including Gongsun Fang, everyone was silent, and their expressions were very solemn, especially Shi Datou, the whole person knelt on the ground, trembling, he was afraid that Gongsun Fang would kill him directly in anger.

This time it was not only the loss of 2,000 soldiers, but also the destruction of one of their hopes-Nanlian City Neiying.

Not long ago, Gongsun Fang had put all his hopes on those three Neiying, but now, those three people gave him a slap in the face, this time not only did they not help themselves capture Nanlian City, but they also helped Jiang Buqi to trap himself. Gongsun Fang, who fled back alone, almost died of anger.

"Shi Datou, are you guilty? What did you say in the first place? There is absolutely no problem with the three of them, but what about now? The three of them actually assisted Jiang Buqi, not only destroyed the 2,000 soldiers I brought, but also almost killed me, what do you say I should do with you? ”

With a bang, Gongsun Fang slapped his palm on the table, directly smashing the table into pieces. At this moment, he really wanted to kill Shi Datou very much, otherwise it would not be enough to vent his anger!

Shi Datou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his forehead was directly on the ground, and he cried loudly: "I'm guilty, I shouldn't have listened to the words of those three villains." But lord, you have to believe in my loyalty, I also want to capture Nanlian City as soon as possible, and I don't mean to kill you! ”

As he spoke, he also climbed to the feet of Gongsun Fang, without any dignity at all.

"Get out of here!"

Gongsun Fang was furious, and directly kicked him in the chest, kicking him out, and in an instant, Shi Datou fell four or five meters away, spitting blood in his mouth, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Gongsun Fang finally relieved his anger a little, and did not ask him again, but looked at Wen Zhi on the side, and said solemnly: "Old Wen, what should we do now?" We lost seven or eight thousand people before the official start of the battle, and we still have no hope of capturing Nanlian City? ”

"This ......" Wen Zhi subconsciously wanted to persuade him to withdraw from the army, but after thinking of the fate of persuading him to withdraw from the army a few days ago, he swallowed these words back and only pondered.

Seeing this, Gongsun Fang was not in a hurry, and waited quietly. At this moment, the only thing he can believe in is Wenji. At least Wenzhi is old and steady, and he will not always persuade himself to make some dangerous decisions like Shi Datou. In fact, he feels so stupid now, Shi Datou doesn't know how much ability he has, and he will always listen to his strategy, isn't it boring?

After pondering for a while, Wen Zhi finally spoke: "The defense of Nanlian City is very weak, and it is not impossible to capture it, but there are two people, and the lord must be extra vigilant!" ”

"Which two?" Gongsun Fang hurriedly asked.

"The first one is Li Shen of Jiujiang City, most of this person's army is already on the way, we must arrange scouts to detect his movements at all times, as long as we find the army of Jiujiang City, don't hesitate to retreat immediately." Bunji replied.

Gongsun Fang nodded, "I naturally know this, I have already sent spies out yesterday, as long as the army of Jiujiang City appears in the territory of Yuzhang City, we will definitely be able to know it at the first time." I don't know who the second person who needs to be vigilant is what Elder Wen said? ”

"Shi Jin!"

Wen Zhi replied without thinking about it, "This person is the commander of the second battalion of Nanlian stationed in Nanshan City, if nothing else, he should have received Jiang Buqi's order and is rushing here to support." He also has 5,000 soldiers at his disposal, and if we take our back route when we attack Nanlian City, our situation will be very dangerous! ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Fang's brows furrowed tightly. If it was before, he would never have taken the five thousand people under the command of Shi Jin in his eyes, but now, but now, he only has 23,000 people in his hands, plus the morale has plummeted, if he is attacked by Shi Jin, there will indeed be very serious consequences.

After pondering for a while, Gongsun Fang said slowly: "It's easy to deal with Shi Jin, don't send so many people when we attack the city, and leave three thousand to guard against Shi Jin's sneak attack." In this way, it should not have a big impact on us. ”

"Three thousand is too little." Wen Zhi shook his head and vetoed on the spot: "Whether it is the first battalion of Nanlian, the second battalion of Nanlian or the third battalion of Nanlian, the quality of the soldiers will not be worse than the soldiers of our Yuzhang City." In addition, Shi Jin is a rare fierce general, leaving only 3,000 people to block him, at least the same number as their numbers. ”

"You mean you want me to leave five thousand men on his defense? But then, aren't the number of people we are using to siege the city only about 18,000? Gongsun Fang was obviously a little reluctant.

"Lord, you must know that we can't help but do this, otherwise, once Shi Jin sneaks up from behind, our army is likely to be directly defeated! Moreover, 18,000 people should be enough to attack Nanlian City, which is so weakly defended, after all, the defenders of Nanlian City are only about 9,000 now, two to one, and the victory rate is still not small. Wenji said.

Gongsun Fang rubbed his temples, for a long time, his eyes narrowed, and he finally made a decision, "Okay!" What about doing this tomorrow and leaving 5,000 men on guard? With the 18,000 people under my command, can I still take the broken city of Nanlian City under my subordinates in the case of a hard encounter? ”

Seeing his appearance, Wen Zhi hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Lord, if possible, it is better to retreat here, after all, even if we capture Nanlian City, we will be broken this time......

"Jiang did not abandon the rebellion and lost the entire Nanlian City; And in the past few days, we have lost more than 7,000 people, and we have already broken our muscles and bones. Gongsun Fang said with red eyes, "Actually, we have no way out, if we retreat this time, Jiang Buqi will definitely become bigger." When the time comes, we will be in danger of being attacked on our backs! ”

Seeing Gongsun Fang say this, Wenzhi didn't persuade him again, he knew that even if he persuaded Gongsun Fang again, he wouldn't listen, but would make himself uncomfortable......

Nanlian City, the main hall of the city guard.

"Lord, what should these three people do?"

Wu Song tied up Une, Zuo Bo and Wei Dingqi and made them kneel in front of Jiang Buqi.

At this moment, there were many people gathered in the main hall, except for the people guarding the city gate, almost all the people above the Sima level of the Southern Liancheng Army arrived.

Looking at the bound Inee and the others, everyone's faces were different, some were angry, some were disgusted, and some were afraid.

Jiang Buqi glanced at everyone and said slowly: "These three people have fornicated with foreign enemies, trying to join forces with Gongsun Fangli to capture our Nanlian City. I would like to ask you, what should we do with them for committing such crimes? ”

"Kill him! Kill him! ”

As soon as his words fell, many people shouted loudly, causing the three of them to turn pale with fright. Among them, the loudest one is none other than Li Kui, who hates these guys who eat inside and crawl outside!

"Lord, you can't kill me, I can take the initiative to confess my guilt, I have confessed everything to you, Lord!"

Zuo Bo was the most timid, and hurriedly cried out, for fear of being pulled out and beheaded by Jiang Buqi. Although Une and Wei Dingqi did not cry, it could be seen from their expressions that they were also afraid to death at this time.

Jiang Buqi waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said slowly: "Although they deserve to die for their crimes, for the sake of Zuo Bo's initiative to confess his guilt, I spared his life, and only cut off the position of the military commander and demoted him to the rank of military commander." As for Umne and Wei Dingqi, after being exposed, they still wanted to conceal the facts, refused to admit their guilt, and killed! ”

After listening to Jiang Buqi's punishment, many people were stunned, not because his punishment was too heavy, but because his punishment was too light. If he were to be replaced by other monarchs, not only Oune and Wei Dingqi, Zuo Bo would definitely not survive, let alone leave him a military rank as a military commander!

Zuo Bo was also stunned for a moment, he only wanted to save his life this time, he never thought that it would be such a result, and he couldn't help but be stunned!

After a while, he finally reacted, and immediately cried with joy, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, lord!" Thank you, my lord......"

knocked his head more than ten times in a row, and almost didn't break his head.

"Get up." Jiang Buqi glanced at him lightly, "It's not terrible to make a mistake, it's terrible to know your mistake and not change it." If it weren't for the fact that you took the initiative to confess your guilt and exposed Gongsun Fang's conspiracy, then this time, you would definitely die! ”

He killed Ugne and Wei Dingqi in order to make an example of the monkey, so that those who have different intentions can weigh whether they can bear the fate of betrayal. As for why he left Zuo Bo's life, it was also for those people to see, Jiang Buqi wanted them to understand one thing, even if they betrayed themselves in confusion for a while, as long as they reined in the precipice, they could also have a way to live!

"Thank you, Lord! Lord Xie ...... "Zuo Bo was still there desperately thanking him, but the two of them were already scared stupid. Although they guessed that Jiang Buqi would kill them, when they really heard this decision, it was still a little difficult to accept.

"Lord, spare my life, I won't dare to ...... my lord in the future"

For a while, both Unite and Wei Dingqi cried.

"Pull them down and cut them off!" Jiang Buqi didn't even look at him, only waved his hand, and motioned for his soldiers to pull the two of them away.

The soldiers standing beside him did not hesitate, and directly pulled down the flag of Oune and Wei Dingqi. Both of them were tied tightly with ropes, and they couldn't resist even if they wanted to.

After a while, two screams were heard outside the main hall, and it was obvious that the two soldiers had killed them without going far. In fact, this is also Jiang Buqi's special instructions, not to let these people in the hall feel their means, they don't know what it means to be afraid!

After disposing of the few people in public, Jiang Buqi said a few more words and let them return to their posts. Gongsun Fang's army has not retreated, the crisis has not been resolved, and now is not the time to relax.

After the fall of Zuo Bo, Une and Wei Dingqi, the positions of the three military commanders were vacated, and Jiang Bu did not give up thinking about it, and directly appointed Tang Shi, Shen Yu and Sun Xiaofei as the new military commanders. The first battalion of Nanlian is the most important force guarding Nanlian City, and it is really uneasy not to change it to his own henchmen from top to bottom.

After a peaceful night, it was soon the next morning. At this moment, five days have passed since Li Shen agreed to send troops. In other words, if nothing else, there will be five days before the army of Jiujiang City will appear.

"Gongsun Fang hasn't retreated yet!"

Above the city gate, Jiang Buqi looked into the distance, although the enemy's camp was encamped in the forest, but with his current eyesight, he could still see some faintly. Originally, he thought that after this series of blows, Gongsun Fang would definitely give up the idea of attacking Nanlian City, but what he didn't expect was that he hadn't yet, and seeing it clearly, it seemed that he was still preparing to attack the city!

"Looks like he's ready to take a gamble." Zhu Wu's expression was a little solemn.

"What now? Shall I simply upgrade the walls to thwart his plans to attack the city? Jiang Buqi asked with a frown. He didn't want to have a hard time with Gongsun Fang, what he hoped most was that Gongsun Fang and Li Shen would consume each other.

Zhu Wu shook his head, "It's not proper, if you upgrade the city wall now, it will certainly scare Gongsun Fang away, but the army of Jiujiang City has not yet entered the territory of Yuzhang City, so Gongsun Fang can lead more than 20,000 people back to Yuzhang City easily." As a result, many of our plans will fail. ”

"How's that to be?" Jiang Buqi was a little irritable in his heart, he couldn't fight and couldn't fight, he couldn't be scared and scared, such a battle was really aggrieved.

Zhu Wu pondered for a while and said: "There are two ways to go now, one is to destroy the road of decay, according to the previous plan of the lord, upgrade the city wall when they attack the city, and then cooperate with the second battalion led by Brother Shi Jin to directly defeat them. Then rush to Yuzhang City as fast as possible, and use the surrendered Yuzhang City military generals to open the city gate and force the 15,000 Yuzhang City guards who stayed behind, and then refuse to defend the city to resist Li Shen;

The second is the road behind the Yellow Bird, so that the second battalion led by Shi Jin's brother will appear, and the situation of fighting with us in the county seat of Nanliancheng will force Gongsun Fang not to attack the city in a short time, as long as it is delayed for two or three days, the army of Jiujiang City should enter the boundary of Yuzhang City. At that time, Gongsun Fang will inevitably retreat, and Li Shen will inevitably intercept it. As a result, most of the two armies will be broken.

There are huge risks in both of these roads, and if one is not careful, our Nanlian City is very likely to fall into a place of no return. Of course, if the lord has no idea about Yuzhang City and only seeks self-protection for the time being, then no matter which method it is, it will inevitably succeed, as long as he guards Nanlian City, don't go to Yuzhang City, and don't go to Huangque.
