The news of Yang Chengying's arrival has lasted for five days.

Li Shi, who supported Xing'an Jun Li Yu to ascend the throne and become king, was originally complacent, and only needed to rest for a few more days to take down Li Yu and other rebels who hid in Busan.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengying led the army to successfully land from Anzhou, first breaking through his hometown Ningbian, and then waving his army south.

Along the road that Li Shi once walked, all the way south, like a bamboo.

As for the combat effectiveness of Yang Chengying's army, Li Shi has an intuitive feeling.

In Ping'an Road in the north that year, Yang Chengying fought with Jiannu, and although Li Shi did not participate, he followed the whole process.

That's called a ruthless!

The Jiannu general Li Yongfang hid in Phoenix City, unable to survive or die.

Li Shi leaned on the female wall, looked at the sky-covering banner stretching out of the army outside the city, and frowned.

He has been paying attention to Yang Chengying since he landed, and he didn't even go south to beat the water dogs.

In the past few days, there have been intermittent messages of information from the gentry who have fled into the city from the north.

Yang Chengying led the army in the north of Seoul Province, camped and felled forests and collected wood.

They also encouraged the rural people to pick vegetables and fruits, and the Ming army exchanged precious food.

If you want silver, it's simpler, as long as you search and kill the sentry sent by Li Shi, one head or two silver plus a bucket of rice.

The Ming army had strict military discipline, did business and was not bullied, and the people were active.

The day after Yang Chengying's army arrived, Li Shi found that his sentinels could not be dispatched.

Go out and die one by one.

Without detailed information on the enemy, Li Shi wanted to go out of the city to carry out a sneak attack, which was a joke.

Outside the north gate of Seoul Province, Zu Kefa rode out of the battle alone, carrying a shield, and rode across the stone bridge over the moat.

He looked at the closed gates, and at the garrisons assembled on the walls, and at the bows and arrows drawn in their hands, and said in a loud voice:

"On the order of Yang Shuai, I told the soldiers and civilians of Hancheng Prefecture that my soldiers entered the country at the invitation of the king of your country, and they have swept away the rebels such as Ningbian and others, and only the Hancheng Mansion has not been lowered.

You are all good people of the Li Dynasty, how can you succumb to the traitor! If you don't surrender, the day the city is broken, that is, when you wait for the head, I hope that the public will think about it and observe it. ”

Behind him, the Ming army waved flags.

Li Shiwang saw the neatly lined up soldiers of the Ming army under Jing, all of them wearing armor, their faces were extremely cold, and he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

But how could he surrender willingly, he immediately replied loudly: "Listen to the people under the city, there is only one great king in our country, and that is the son of the great king of Zhaojing, how can there be a new king."

Although you are a great soldier, you will invade without being invited by the king, and I hope you will go back and tell Yang Chengying to leave the territory of my Li Dynasty as soon as possible, otherwise the whole country will rise up and attack it. ”

Li applied the Chinese language, and in the era of low general cultural level, it only belonged to the category of spraying.

After reading and reading, Ming Jun understood something and couldn't help laughing.

There is such a shameless person in the world, see you for the first time!

The defenders on Li Shi's side were completely confused, looking at each other, not knowing what they were saying.

This scene was also watched by Yang Chengying, who was standing on the command platform, with a telescope.

The command platform at his feet was a makeshift mountain of dirt. The height is almost the same as the city wall, so you can see every move of the other party.

Knowing that it was unlikely that Li Shi's main force would surrender voluntarily while the main force was still alive, he ordered the flag officer to wave the command flag and recall Zu Kefa under the city.

"Dashuai, the other party's mouth is quite hard."

Zukefa grinned as he climbed the dirt mountain.

Yang Chengying smiled: "It's just the last dying struggle." ”

He turned his head to look at Shen Zhixiang again and asked, "I asked you to contact the ministers of the Li Dynasty, do they have any response?" ”

Shen Zhixiang clenched his fists and replied: "Back to Dashuai, the brothers sent out have returned, and the ministers of the Li Dynasty are hiding in Busan, they asked that brother to convey their gratitude, and said that they will come back when Dashuai exterminates the traitors." ”

"Then he shouldn't come back at all, a dignified king can run faster than a rabbit."

Zu Kefa was not angry.

In fact, I don't blame Zu Kefa, Yang Chengying also thinks it's a little funny.

Since learning that the rebels were approaching Seoul, Li Yu did not hesitate to abandon the city and flee.

Flee to the port of Busan in one go, and then go south to the Wakoku.

It's just that he may be worried that he won't be able to pay the cost of borrowing troops to Yang Chengying after the war, so he took away silver and gold with more than a dozen carts when he left.

This led to Li Shih's occupation of Seoul and no money to reward the soldiers. He didn't dare to rob the two classes of nobles, so he could only go to the bazaar to loot his property, which made the Seoul Mansion make chickens and dogs jump.

The only one who did not participate was Wang Shaoxun and his troops.

Wang Shaoxun is still looking forward to being promoted and making a fortune, and he doesn't want to fool around with such a group of people.

He was stationed in the south of the city with 300 soldiers, and closed the gate of the fortress, not allowing a single soldier to leave the camp.

This made Li Shi a little embarrassed, and actually took a sum of money out to reward them.

The situation is critical, Li Shi looks at his generals all over the place, and Wang Shaoxun has to be reliable.

So, he invited Wang Shaoxun to the north of the city to look out at the Ming army not far north of the city.

After reading it, Wang Shaoxun gasped: "This Yang Chengying didn't bring many soldiers under his hands, but gathered a lot of remnants of the Li Dynasty.

As soon as the battle started, although these people were of little use, they could hide Yang Chengying's true intention to attack the city. ”

Li Shi sighed and said, "That's exactly the truth. There is me in the north of the city, and you in the south of the city, but there are no reliable generals in the west and east cities, especially Zheng Zhongxin! ”

The prejudice against Zheng Zhongxin is not only now, but at the beginning of the army.

After Zheng Zhongxin raised his troops, he did not come to meet as agreed. As a result, Li Shi did not have enough strength in a short period of time to completely wipe out the defeated officers and troops.

These officers and troops scattered and fled, and finally gathered under Yang Chengying's command and became the main force in the siege.

"At the moment of the great enemy, don't worry about these things."

Wang Shaoxun tactfully persuaded: "We are now in the same boat, and after the city is broken, no one will end well." ”

Li Shi thought it made sense and nodded: "Okay, let's quickly discuss how to take advantage of the enemy." I saw that the other side was moving quite quickly, and it seemed that they were planning to attack the city. ”

"I can see it, but he doesn't plan to attack the city from all sides, only at the north gate. This is the intention to concentrate forces and break through the north gate in one fell swoop. ”

Wang Shaoxun calmly analyzed: "If the north gate is guarded, we still have hope of winning." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to me. The south gate will be handed over to you, and beware of Li Liang's men sneaking up on the south gate. ”

"Hmm. Leave! ”

Wang Shaoxun walked away quickly.

Li Shi looked worriedly at the military formation that had been unfolded not far away.

Is the other side ready to attack the city without artillery support?

Li Shi was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Yang Chengying is also a battlefield general, and he will not make such a low-level mistake.

Then, his doubts were answered.

From the enemy's formation, they launched a series of arrow carts and aimed them at the castle tower.

These divine machine arrow cars must have been collected by Yang Chengying from other cities, which is really hateful.

Li Shi thought hatefully, those generals defending the city were really useless, and they were easily attacked by the opponent. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have faced so many divine arrow cars.
