Yang Yanqi's expression was solemn, and she turned a blind eye to Zhou Xiuying's anger: "This city can't be defended, we have to withdraw!" ”

Zhou Xiuying was stunned: "Escape? Captain, why did you suddenly decide to escape? Although there are many thieves in Montenegro, they are just local chickens and dogs! Our army has cities and generals, and as long as we hold on for half a month, the army of Chang'an will arrive. General Liu will also come to support at any time, and at that time, it will be an immortal achievement to completely annihilate the black mountain thieves under the city and capture Feiyan! ”

Yang Yanqi shook his head slowly: "I felt the breath of my brothers in this enemy general under the city. He's strong and we're not opponents. ”

Zhou Xiuying was not convinced: "The enemy general just now, his subordinates split it with two knives." Even if this is a little more powerful, his subordinates can always cut him with ten or twenty knives! ”

Yang Yanqi turned his head: "Zhou Junhou is brave and has made the first contribution to our army, and Qi admires it very much. But obviously seeing the bravery of Zhou Junhou, the enemy generals who are not in a hurry to fight must not be simple under their hands. If you see it, take it, our army is trapped in a lonely city, not only with few soldiers, but also with few generals. If Zhou Junhou loses, Qi will not be able to support it alone, and the two thousand brothers in Jinman City may not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the thieves. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xiuying was still puffing up, she smiled, like a spring breeze and rain, and gently reached out to comb the hair on Zhou Xiuying's cheeks: "We won for a while, and the goal has been achieved, isn't it?" There are so many enemy generals, you can't kill them all in a moment. Don't worry, there are more important tasks entrusted to you, if you complete it, General Yanqi will be a captain when you are triumphant. What do you think? ”

Zhou Xiuying turned her anger into joy at this time: "Okay, Lord Lieutenant is not allowed to lie to me." ”

Yang Yanqi smiled gently: "I don't lie to you." Let's go down and urge everyone to prepare for the defense of the city! ”

Seeing Zhou Xiuying leave in a hurry, Yang Yanqi sighed and muttered to herself: "Father, brothers, where are you?" ”

The generals under the city who slowly rode away turned around and glanced at Yang Yanqi. The general suddenly grinned, and his white teeth were particularly conspicuous.

Yang Yanqi made up his mind: The low walls of the small city are broken, if they are all bandits, then there is no problem in resisting ten days and a half months. If there are fierce generals like the fifth brother and the seventh brother who rush to the city first, they will definitely not be able to resist it with themselves, Zhou Xiuying's father and daughter, as well as the ordinary soldiers under their hands. Only escape!

Thinking of this, he took the four treasures of the study and quickly wrote more than ten letters. Then he summoned a dozen heralds: "While the enemy has not yet besieged the city, you wait until tonight to leave the city in batches and deliver the letter to several other cities." If you encounter an enemy intercepting you on the way, be sure to burn the letter first, remember to remember! ”

In Zhang Yanjun's army, the yellow-haired man chuckled: "The lord of this city is still obedient." Well, General Zhang, order the city to camp! You Montenegrin have many soldiers, guarding the east and north; How about I have few soldiers, so how about guarding the west? Set aside the south gate and let them go. ”

The art of war has clouds, and there are three ques and one around. Zhang Yan, as the leader of the alliance promoted by the Montenegrin Army and the leader of the strongest group of the million-strong Montenegrin army, naturally understands the art of war. Wen Yan nodded: "Very good, just according to what the adults say." ”

An army of 50,000 moved and quickly set up camp less than a mile from the city, surrounding the city on three sides. Yang Yanqi changed into the costume of a scout and went out of the city to investigate, and looked at the enemy's camp from a distance, it seemed to be very casual and ordinary on the surface, but he always felt that there was an irrepressible murderous aura scattered inside, which was chilling.

I have to admire Liu Jinding's ability to employ people. Although they are both young women, their skills are not far apart, but Yang Yanqi and Zhou Xiuying's talents are completely different. Zhou Xiuying belongs to the stupid and bold stupid boldness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and dares to give it a go in the face of a fierce general like Guan Zhang and Lu Bu; Yang Yanqi is different, he grew up with his father and brother since he was a child, just like a person who often sleeps with the tiger, even if his skills are far from enough, he intuitively knows what the tiger looks like and how terrifying it is.

At night, Zhang Yanjun sent about 5,000 troops to attempt the first siege of the city. I have to say that the city is small and has the advantage of being small, even in the face of a large army, two thousand people can completely defend it. And Zhang Yanjun did not have any decent siege equipment, except for the extremely rudimentary staircase to climb the city, there was no baggage. The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, and Zhang Yanjun left hundreds of corpses behind and hurriedly withdrew. The defenders suffered even smaller losses, with less than 300 casualties.

Yang Yanqi set up a banquet and invited Zhou Xiuying's father and daughter to the school captain's mansion: "The two of you won the first battle today, and the two of them have made great contributions. A glass for two Yan Qi! ”

Zhou Xiuying used a big knife today to kill more than a dozen enemy soldiers who rushed to the city, including two enemy generals, who were quite excited, and took the lead in raising a glass: "Thank you, Lord Captain, Xiuying did it first!" ”

Father Zhou was also in a good mood, raised a glass to greet him, and drank a cup with Yang Yanqi.

Zhou Xiuying was full of pride, poured another cup, and stood up: "Lord Captain, this battle is not only dependent on the sergeant's single-mindedness, but the command of Lord Captain is the key to victory!" A glass to Captain Xiuying! ”

Yang Yanqi smiled, got up and pressed down Zhou Xiuying's cup: "Let's drink this cup today, Xiuying, I have something I want to entrust to you, do you dare to take it?" ”

Zhou Xiuying was stunned: "Lord Captain, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Yanqi waved his hand and motioned for the maid and servant next to him to retreat, and then said in a low voice: "Fight out of the encirclement and go to Zhending City for help!" ”

Zhou Xiuying asked, "Tonight?" ”

Yang Yanqi nodded: "Tonight's fifth watch!" ”

Zhou Xiuying frowned: "Lord Captain, our army is victorious today, just take advantage of the victory to fight again." Why rush for help? If you are worried about the shortage of sergeants, and there are many young and strong people in the city, our army can also recruit female soldiers. It is not difficult to recruit thousands of more people, and it is completely possible to hold on until the arrival of the lord's reinforcements. ”

Yang Yanqi shook his head: "Today's small victory, morale is booming, so it is good to break through." If we wait until the enemy has attacked the city five or ten times, and the elite of our army is lost, we can only destroy the city. ”

Zhou Xiuying was still a little puzzled: "But the lord's army is ......"

Yang Yanqi's voice raised a few points, and his tone was also a little stern: "You can't gamble your fate on reinforcements!" What if the lord's army goes to Zhending City first? What if the lord's army is intercepted by the Montenegrin thieves? I am the main general, you are a military marquis, and the fate of the two thousand brothers in Jinman City can only depend on you! Rely on me! ”

After speaking, his voice was fierce: "Zhou Junhou listens to the order!" I order you to lead 300 cavalry, and on the fourth watch tonight, you will go out from the north gate and go to Zhending City! ”

Zhou Xiuying was shocked: "Xiuying takes the order!" ”

Yang Yanqi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou, please lead five hundred militiamen, under the banner of the captain of this school, and go out of the city from the south gate tonight." When you leave the city, light the torches and make a loud noise. If the enemy comes to attack, hold out for half an hour. Then return to the city, and after returning to the city, disband the militia, and order everyone to hide in disguise in batches, waiting for an opportunity to escape. I have arranged for Mr. Zhou to be picked up, and after the escape is successful, I will go to Zhending. ”

Zhou Lichun was quite moved when he heard this, and nodded: "Thank you Captain Yang, the old man will not be dishonored!" ”

He asked Yang Yanqi worriedly: "Captain Yang, what about you?" ”

Yang Yanqi's expression was solemn: "There are still a thousand elites left, I want to take them out." As long as the two of you can successfully complete the task, I will naturally have a way to lead my siblings out. ”

Zhou Lichun nodded: "Okay!" Captain Yang, be careful yourself! ”

The three of them ate and drank silently, and Yang Yanqi ordered people to withdraw the banquet. Then get up: "Two, go down and prepare!" At the third watch, I will send someone to contact the two. ”

Zhou Xiuying's father and daughter retreated, and Yang Yanqi clapped her hands. Soon after, a group of men in black dressed in strong clothes rushed in and sat down in batches.

Then a servant brought four or five large chests from the inside. Yang Yanqi opened them one by one, the lid of the box opened, and the box was full of pearls and gold and silver treasures. Yang Yanqi said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the gold and silver treasures in the treasury of Jinman City are all here. Pay half of you first, and you will take it back to settle the family, or bury it. If it is done tonight, you will go to Zhending City and receive the other half with the certificate of the school captain. ”

An ugly man with bare eyebrows said: "Captain Yang is frank, I admire him!" Today's events are incumbent upon us! However, if it is done, we will ask for more than gold and silver! ”

Yang Yanqi nodded: "That's nature." As long as the captain of this school can escape smoothly, the day when our Han army reoccupies Jinman City will be the time to fulfill the covenant with you. ”

The ugly man clenched his fists: "Undecided at a glance!" ”

The rangers also left. Yang Yanqi arranged a time for the heralds to go out of the city, and ordered the housekeeper to dismiss all the servants and maids in the house after he left the city. ”
