Chapter 44: The Siege

I estimated that the two sides had almost finished fighting, so I agreed to the request of the two, and the Dongying people arrested at this time were almost full of cells.

The next day, the two parties came to ransom with a large sum of money, and the relationship between the two parties broke down completely. All the energy is focused on the open and secret fighting, and I don't have the energy to deal with me for a while. Except for the occasional delivery, I'm a favor on both sides, but I don't favor either side.

In this way, although it is sandwiched between the two parties, it is also easy to navigate. From time to time, it creates some trouble for both sides, and my side is also gathering troops to step up preparations for war. The target is directly aimed at Xu Capital City, and Zhao Li, the city lord of Xu Capital City.

This man is not bad, but he is a stumbling block in my way. I can't do anything further without moving it. Zhou Mingyang and Ma Huayun also persuaded me many times that Xu Ducheng must be taken, and they are also bound to win Xu Du.

Judging from the future development, Xu Ducheng must also be taken, but this Xu Ducheng County Guard Zhao is stubborn. Even can't be convinced, there are many fierce generals under his command.

In this troubled era, it is also a side, and in the name of loyal Qin State, naturally many people have joined. Its strength is almost equal to mine, how can others sleep soundly in the couch.

If I bypass Xudu City, if Zhao Li takes advantage of me to attack other cities and attacks Linyi City, the consequences will be incalculable.

As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty and guilty, whether he has that idea or not, I have to get rid of him first. On July 3, the second year of the Qianli calendar, I ordered Hong Zhentian to gather 4,000 elite guards with Zhou Mingyang as his military advisor and Zhou Tai as his deputy general.

The target is directly aimed at the capital city. Together with Ma Huayun, I led two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people to guard Linyi City. In case of an emergency.

Hong Zhentian personally led four thousand elites to Xu Du, and Zhao Li in Xu Capital had already received the news. At this moment, there was also chaos in Xudu City, and Zhao Li immediately transferred people with official positions in Xudu City together. Standing on the general's platform, he asked, "Who of you dares to lead an army to meet the enemy?"

At this time, as soon as he took the lead, he hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, with me, Zhang Xing will definitely be able to cut the head of the enemy." Zhao Li glanced back at his military advisor Zhang Mou, and saw that Zhang Mou was eight feet long, with a face like a crown of jade, wearing a star crown on his head, and holding a whisk of dust.

Dressed in a crane, fluttering like a fairy wind bone. Although Zhang Mou is talented and resolute, he is narrow-minded. At the moment, I am thinking about it in my heart. Hearing Zhao Li ask, he came back to his senses: "Since General Zhang is willing to lead the troops into battle, it would be better, then the general himself will lead three thousand elites to line up at the city gate to block the guards."

Send another person to ask for help from Zhang Hu, the county guard of Yingdu City, this Zhang Hu is also an understanding person. This move by the guards must be the best of the best. All they need to do is let them attack Linyi City and force the guards to come back. and promised them that they would be thankful when they had done it. ”

The woman below was about to speak, and Zhao Li waved her hand to announce the deployment of everyone. That woman was Ren Chuanyu, the only female general in Xudu City, whose father followed Zhao Li's southern expedition to the north and died in a battle to defend Xudu City.

When Hong Zhentian arrived at the city of Xudu, he ordered everyone to camp on the spot, and the distance between him and Zhang Xing's troops was no more than 100 steps. Zhou Mingyang's move was to deter Zhao Li, who stood on the city wall and said, "I have General Zhang, why am I afraid of these rabble."

However, Zhang Xing has no strategy. And he is very meritorious. Zhang Xing is nine feet high, with a waist of twelve girths, and a spear of one hundred and eighty pounds. Thinking that he was invincible in the world, he rode out of the battle alone, and shouted when he was fifty steps away from Hong Zhentian's camp, "The enemy will dare to compete with me."

Hong Zhentian stopped Li Jin, Qian Qi and others, and Zhou Mingyang was sorting out the military quarters in the account at the moment. He took up a war horse himself. went into battle directly, and the two of them reported their names and started fighting directly.

In less than three rounds, Zhang Xing was beheaded by Hong Zhentian, and Zhao Li on the city tower looked stupid. He asked again, "Who dares to step forward and cut off the head of the enemy general for me?" At this time, another military general stepped forward and said, "The last general, Pan Fei, is willing to go."

Then he rode out of the city to meet the enemy with a pair of plate axes and rode a war horse, and was beheaded by Hong Zhentian in less than five rounds. At this time, Zhao Li asked again, who stepped forward to kill the enemy general, but no one answered, at this time, Incheon Yu stood up and said, "Return to the general, the last general is willing to go."

As soon as Zhao Li looked at Incheon Jade, he remembered her father. sighed secretly, "It would be nice if Ren Long was still here." Incheon Okok replied, "Although the last general is a woman, she will not disgrace my father's reputation, and I ask my lord to allow me to fight."

Zhao Li couldn't make up his mind for a while, hesitated for a while, and then looked at the generals who were unwilling to fight. So he gave permission, and Incheon Jade rode a war horse and stood in front of Hong Zhentian with a long sword in his hand. Hong Zhentian was stunned for a moment and said secretly: "There is no one in this Xu Capital City, how can you send a woman out."

Then he looked at Incheon Jade, this woman is naturally beautiful. Like a begonia flower, tie a bright red silk skirt, wipe your face with rouge and lead powder, open your chest, expose the main waist of pink yarn, with a color of gold buttons on it, and murderous eyebrows.

Hong Zhentian was actually moved when he saw it, and his heart was like a little mouse scratching. was almost stunned for a while, Zhou Mingyang heard that Hong Zhentian was the head coach but went out to fight with others. For a while, he felt that this person was really messing around, and then he came out to watch the battle.

It wasn't until he saw that Hong Zhentian would be beheaded one by one under the horse in the future, so he was relieved. The guards were also ready to attack at any time, and Hong Zhentian instinctively dodged the oncoming sword. The two fought together like this, and Hong Zhentian fell in love with nature, and his subordinates showed mercy.

However, Incheon Jade didn't realize that it was just a blind attack. Hong Zhentian took advantage of her attack and knocked her off his horse with a sweep of his spear, and Incheon Yu was also escorted to the camp by the guards.

Zhou Mingyang only launched the order of a general attack at this moment, and the four thousand elites rushed towards Xu Ducheng with a rainbow of momentum. When parting, Hong Zhentian glanced back at Incheon Jade again, and rushed to Xu Ducheng first.

Zhao Li's side was naturally demoralized due to the loss of three generals one after another, and the three thousand elites were directly dispersed by the guards. Less than 800 men withdrew to the city.

Zhang Mou hurriedly began to set up the formation, and Hong Zhentian dodged the flying arrows and rushed to the city gate. But it was blocked by the archers on the city tower, and the siege equipment could not be transported downstairs for a while.

Zhou Mingyang's order was very simple, and he attacked in one go. So Hong Zhentian and Li Jin held a shield on their heads, and several people pushed up the rushing car and hit the city gate, and Liu Yang's bow battalion also kept shooting arrows at the city tower.

Zhao Li ran downstairs as soon as he saw it, but Zhang Mou couldn't persuade him. The main general ran away, and the remaining soldiers were unsupervised, so they naturally had no intention of fighting. In a short time, the gates of the capital were breached, and many people fled in all directions.

In the panic, many people died under gunfire. Zhang Mou led the remaining more than 3,000 people to resist the guards, but Zhao Li was very real. Directly took the white flag and surrendered, and the other soldiers saw that the commander had surrendered and what else they resisted.

So they also put down the weapons in their hands one after another, and raised their hands one by one to surrender. Zhang Mou led more than 1,000 people to fight alone, and Zhou Mingyan only said "kill" simply after reading it.

After a short time, Zhang Mou's team was scattered, and before he died, Zhang Mou looked at Zhao Li and said, "O mediocre master." Then calmly draw his sword and kill himself. Hong Zhentian naturally took over Xu Ducheng smoothly, and many people grabbed things when they saw them after entering the city.

Zhou Mingyang said, "I'll leave it to you here, remember not to let the soldiers indulge too much." I'll have to explain to the general." Then without looking back, he led people to the City Lord's Mansion.

After Hong Zhentian learned the lesson of the last time, he directly ordered, "If there is a robbery of the people, molesting women, or trespassing on people's houses, they will be beheaded." Only then did he stop some people a little, and Hong Zhentian ran directly to the camp as soon as he saw that the battle was over.

Li Jin asked, "What's wrong with Brother Hong, why did he run out of the city after he beat the city?" Qian Qi replied, "How do I know, you ask me, I ask who to go?" Let's take care of our soldiers, this military advisor is not easy to mess with."

In case he cuts us down, the time will ......" The two looked at each other to restrain each other. After Hong Zhentian left the city, he rode a fast horse and ran to the camp. When they arrived at the camp, they asked, "Where is the girl I captured?" and the soldier replied, "There it is."

Hong Zhentian ran over and saw that Incheon Yu was being tied to a wooden stake at the moment, and the whole person was not as heroic as before. So Hong Zhentian hurriedly untied the rope on Incheon Jade, and Incheon Jade saw that there was no restraint, and the two fought again. In hand-to-hand combat, Incheon Yu is already a woman, and where can she defeat Hong Zhentian, the five big and three thick.

was grabbed directly by the wrist, and gritted his teeth there to endure. Just don't beg for mercy, Hong Zhentian saw that this woman was really stubborn. Yes, it was the type he liked, so he picked it up and walked towards the camp.

"What are you doing, you let me go". Incheon Ok seemed to understand what was going to happen next, and kept patting Hong Zhentian on the back with her hand, and Hong Zhentian threw her on the bed. He opened the contents of the box and said, "You are injured, I will give you medicine."

Incheon Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the so-called enemy in front of him. Clumsily medicated herself, and never told others about the injuries on her Incheon jade from childhood to adulthood.

Because even if she has injuries on her body, she will not let others know, after all, it is naturally not easy for her to stand among the generals as a woman. So she didn't pay attention to this little injury at all.

It's just that looking at the person in front of me worrying about himself so much, I have an inexplicable feeling in my heart. Then don't look over. After Zhou Mingyang arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately received all the things from Wang Bing's warehouse.

Then it was registered into a register and ordered to be sent to Linyi City as soon as possible. And he commanded that the storehouse should be guarded, and that no one should come near. For Zhao Li, who surrendered, he just put him in prison.

I didn't ask, and I was naturally happy after receiving the good news from Xu Ducheng. But the other report made me unhappy. Zhang Hu of the Shadow Capital City led 8,000 iron horsemen to approach Linyi City. How can these old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city defend Linyi City. For a while, everyone was also anxious to spin in place.
