Seeing that the faces of the generals were all afraid, the veteran Guo Ying said in a deep voice: "The old man sees that Beiping is already at the end of the strong crossbow, as long as the armies are more courageous, they will definitely be broken in three days."

"All the families of the generals of the Yan army are in the city, and as soon as they are captured, the king of Yan will have an army of one million, and he can only surrender obediently."

Guo Ying's words are more acceptable, at least giving everyone hope, unlike Li Jinglong's own thoughts, but he is saying bad news.

As soon as Guo Ying said this, everyone also knew that they had to work hard, if they didn't want to collide with the hundreds of thousands of troops of King Yan, they must break Beiping City within ten days.

"The old general said it well." Li Jinglong laughed at this time, and said, "Let's let Yan Shun surrender obediently."

The congregations were noncommittal.

The next day, just after dawn, the southern army attacked again, and the offensive was even more fierce than yesterday.

But the defenders at the head of the city also seemed to know the news, and the defense was fiercer than yesterday.

At this time, all parts of Beiping City were fighting bravely, and only the northwest corner was relatively quiet.

In charge of the attack on this side, it was Qu Neng, the commander of the capital from Sichuan, and his Sichuan military guard.

Qu Neng took his sons Qu Yu and Yu Tongyuan to the Changyi Gate in the northwest corner, where more than 5,000 horsemen were gathered, waiting for his order.

Qu Neng's expression was a little depressed, because he was not sure that his eldest son Qu Yu was not in Beiping City.

In case he entered Beiping City and found Qu Yu, how should he explain it to the imperial court?

Therefore, in the previous attack, he did not make any efforts, there was no progress on the side of Changyi Gate, and the southern army also suffered countless casualties, which was simply dragging Li Jinglong's hind legs.

"Dad is thinking about big brother?" The second son, Qu Yu, saw that there was no one around, and Yu Tongyuan was reorganizing the troops again, so he immediately attached it and said in a low voice.

"Ahh Qu Neng glanced at the second son, the eldest son was brave, the second son was resourceful, and his two sons had their own characteristics.

"For my father, I am afraid that Qu Yu will be in the city."

"Certainly not in the city." Qu Yu said.

「？」 Qu Neng glared at Qu Yu, and then recalled the scene of the last time he met Zhu Gaoxu.

Qu Yu said at this time: "The last time the King of Gaoyang County acted and spoke, this person was quite scheming, not like the reckless man who only knew how to charge into battle as the outside world said, but Wei Guogong said that it was right, this person is young, no matter how scheming he is, even worse than King Yan, or even more."

"King Gaoyang, his heart is not small."

Qu Neng was already smart, and he was originally only worried about his son, but when he heard the second son say this, he immediately figured it out.

"That's right, this King Gaoyang, don't you want to be the son of the world?" Even, to be a prince?

captured Qu Yu alive, if Zhu Gaoxu had told King Yan, King Yan would have sent someone to secretly contact Qu Neng.

Qu Neng has not received any news so far, which is enough to prove that Zhu Gaoxu even concealed Zhu Di.

Qu Neng put himself in Zhu Gaoxu's position, no matter what he thought, it was impossible to tell others about capturing Qu Yu alive.

Because it can be an extremely useful big card, the trump card, which can make a big difference when necessary.

Think about it this way, in Beiping City, there should be no son Qu Yu here.

"Go into the city, capture the family of King Gaoyang, and then you can secretly exchange my eldest brother with King Gaoyang." Qu Yu finally whispered.

"Yu'er is good, she has grown." Qu Neng stretched out his hand to pat his second son, smiling.

"They were all forced by the King of Gaoyang County." Qu Yu smiled bitterly and said, you are fighting with the king of Gaoyang County, it is very nerve-wracking, if you don't think about it, you can't think of what he will do.

Qu Neng listened to his son's words thoughtfully, what Wei Guogong said was right, if he was an opponent with the king of Gaoyang County, he had to think carefully before acting.

"Mother's." Qu Neng was in a good mood at this time, and Lang smiled and said, "Let this group of northern troops see how powerful we are, brothers, assemble."

Qu Neng summoned the generals and began to arrange.

There is an urn city in Changyi Gate, so it is not easy to attack, and the strength of the Yan army to defend here is slightly less.

After the attack a few days ago, Qu Neng already knew that the Yan who was defending this side would be Liu Jiang.

this

Shi Qu Neng was talking to the soldiers: "A few days ago, our offensive was not strong, and the soldiers were also procrastinating, Liu Jiang seems to have gotten used to it, probably thinking that we have this ability."

"Give him an unforgettable lesson today, so that these Yan rebels can see the power of our officers and soldiers."

There was a chorus of echo all around, and everyone cheered each other on.

Qu Neng's subordinates can command more than 5,000 people, which is exactly the strength of a guard station, but after the attrition of the previous few days, a large number of wounded soldiers have retreated, and there are still less than 4,000.

Originally, he wanted to ask Li Jinglong for instructions, but the casualties were too heavy, so he would change a guard station, and let himself go down to rest and rest by the way.

But this time I decided to break through Beiping City, and I definitely couldn't change it.

"Lao Xie, your subordinates over the age of thirty-five are all singled out, and when the first wave will be fought, it will be the same as before, don't worry, go up slowly, if there are more than 100 dead and wounded, retreat immediately——"

"No."

"Lao Song, you are the same, people over the age of thirty-five will be given to Lao Xie, and those under the age of thirty-five over there will be given to you."

Qu Neng began to disrupt the organization, dividing his subordinates into ten teams of four hundred people.

Most of the first three 400-strong teams were old, weak, sick and disabled, either veterans over thirty-five years old or teenagers.

And the four, five, six, and three hundred-man teams are slightly stronger than the front, and the strongest seven-eight-ninety-three teams are all elite young and strong, of which the seventh hundred-man team is the elite of the elite, and a large number of small flags and general flag-level young and strong officers are concentrated here.

Qu Neng gathered the archers of the whole guard, about two hundred people, and many of the archers were replaced by other infantrymen first, because he only had such a bow.

He still didn't think it was enough, and said to Qu Yu, "You go to Sheng Yong and ask him how much he can borrow a bow."

Qu Yu ran to find Sheng Yong, Sheng Yong was hitting the main gate of Li, he preferred to use firearms, and the rumbling cannons over there were endless.

Seeing Qu Yu coming over, Sheng Yong laughed: "Does your father have any cannons over there, and use them to exchange them with me?"

Qu Neng really had five cannons here, so he immediately changed four to Sheng Yong, and took more than 100 bows from Sheng Yong, Sheng Yong also talked about righteousness, and even lent the archers to Qu Neng.

Qu Neng gathered all the bows again, and finally gathered 400 bows, and he hid all the archers in the rear and left the city for the time being.

Before attacking, he called Yu Tongyuan and Qu Yu to him.

"Liu Jiang followed Xu Da first, and then followed King Yan, brave and resourceful, good at attacking but not good at defending."

"To be honest, if each of them leads 5,000 soldiers and horses in the field to fight him, I am only forty percent sure at most."

"But if you lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight, I can be 70% sure."

Qu Neng is also quite proud of this, which means that Liu Jiang is a bit powerful in fighting, but there are not many soldiers, so Qu Neng is different.

"A few days ago, we deliberately showed weakness to create a false impression for him, so that they would think that our soldiers and horses are this strength."

"Yan Wei's side, most of them think that our officers and soldiers come from all over the world, and many people can't do their work, from the current point of view, there is such a situation, and we just deliberately transported away the four cannons, if Liu Jiang thinks that we are like this, then we are half the success."

Qu Neng told the two of them that he knew how to play, and waved his big hand to signal the attack.

Liu Jiang was also standing on the wall of Changyi Gate, looking around.

Just now, Qu Neng's soldiers and horses carried away the four cannons openly, Liu Jiang immediately looked at them, and then found that these cannons were transported to the Lizheng Gate where Sheng Yong was.

"Someone, inform General Qiu, be careful of Sheng Yong, he also borrowed the cannon here."

Liu Jiang played an excellent role in the Jingjing and was able to recruit good strategies, so it is no wonder that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, values him more.

He really has some strength, and many details on the battlefield can be discovered by him.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Qu Neng was doing this on purpose, Liu Jiang thought that the official army wanted to attack Li Zhengmen with all his might, after all, there was no urn city over there.

And a few days ago, Qu Neng couldn't work again, and for many days in a row, Liu Jiang also thought that the officers and troops under the city were just this strength, or they were fishing.

He was considering whether to send some troops and horses,

Elsewhere.

At this moment, someone behind him shouted, "Liu Qianhu, the southern army is coming up."

Boom, with the roar of Qu Neng's only artillery, a large number of southern troops rushed forward, and many southern troops did not bring ladders.

Because there are ladders everywhere under the city, many ladders have been pushed down after they have been put up in the city.

The Southern Army was a team of 400 people and rushed towards the Changyi Gate.

Liu Jiang sneered in his eyes: "I'm really not afraid of death, brothers, give them something powerful."

It was about the same as a few days before, the southern army had not yet reached the city, and there was a swishing and feathered arrows flying sideways, and they rushed to the city under the rain of arrows.

Then the ladders were erected, and the city was entertained with all kinds of rolling stones and fire oil.

A ladder had just been erected, and before anyone could go up, there was an uproar, and a pot of oil had been poured on the ladder.

"Ahh

But after the attrition of the attack in the past few days, the moat was almost filled, and it was difficult to see the water, and it was all kinds of mud and rocks or the corpses of officers and soldiers.

The flames burned the ladder, and the southern army behind rushed up, desperately trying to extinguish the fire, but the fire grew bigger and bigger.

Whoosh, another row of arrows fell, and the Southern army screamed and fell to the ground.

Qu Neng's first wave of 400 soldiers and horses rushed forward and suffered heavy casualties in less than a quarter of an hour, leading the army to 100 households without saying a word, and quickly waved his hand and withdrew.

Liu Jiang's soldiers and horses at the head of the city suddenly welcomed them, but the cheers did not stop, and the second wave of southern troops in the distance rushed up in the dark.

"Come as much as you want, and die as much as you want." Liu Jiang smiled sneeringly, his expression smug.

At this time, there were cannons and shouts of killing everywhere around Beiping City, and the southern army was attacking the city on all sides, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

Countless soldiers and horses swam around, and people fell to the ground every minute, and the lives of the Ming soldiers were not worth mentioning here.

Under the city, Qu Neng was staring at the city wall from behind, counting silently in his heart.

There are also cannons at the head of Liu Jiangcheng, but the loss of artillery is extremely large, and the fight is slow, and it will basically take a while to shoot a cannon now.

There are two cannons at the head of Liu Jiangcheng, and according to the current time, it will take about five minutes to release one cannon, and the interval is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition to counting the sound of cannons, he also counted how many arrows the Yan army shot at the head of the city.

The archers are not endless, and it is certainly not interesting to shoot in the back.

As his troops marched forward in waves, the Southern army suffered heavy losses.
