Knock knock!

The war drums, which had not been sounded for a long time, sounded chaotically in the barracks.

In the Nuoda military camp, the frying pots, patrolling foot soldiers, and the soldiers in the camp who were still drinking and guessing boxing, all panicked to find helmets and weapons, bows and crossbows, and then rushed to the school to gather.

A moment later, a group of soldiers galloped out of the barracks on horseback, and then dispersed to various places.

The soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in Montenegro Village were the people in their leisure time and soldiers in wartime.

Now that it is autumn harvest season, most of the defenders of Montenegro are still harvesting in the fields on the outskirts.

At present, the number of troops in the barracks is completely insufficient.

But now that the Chu army has called, there is no chance for the defenders in the city to react, and at this time, Chen Shou wants to recall those soldiers from the countryside, but it is too late.

"Boom!"

The king of Zhenxi has already initiated the entry into the palace.

Artillery and catapults fired in unison.

Black Mountain City is not as good as the heavy pass Fuyou City, the city walls are not very strong, two rounds of bombardment, the city wall in the west of the city, is bombed out of a big hole, but the city gate is more solid.

Chen Shou fell behind the battlements, and everyone was confused. Look at the book

He couldn't understand how the good Chu army could reach Black Mountain City.

Are the defenders of Yuancheng and Nanzhao County blind, and they don't pass on any news.

He still couldn't understand how Chu Jun's firearms had become so strong.

The impregnable city wall turned out to be like paper paste at the moment, and several large holes were blasted out by artillery.

He originally thought that he would be able to defend the city for a while, and after recalling the soldiers of the harvest, he might be rescued by the imperial court.

But now...

After another round of bombardment, the Chu army.

The light cavalry of the Chu army sprinted with all their strength and rushed straight towards the hole that had been blasted out of the city wall.

The king of Zhenxi held a horse lance in his hand, rushed to the front with a horse, and swept off the horse rejection stake in front of the city wall, and shouted angrily:

"Wu Shixian, after entering the city, you will take 8,000 light cavalry to attack the left flank."

"Gu Jing, you take the rest of the light cavalry and attack the right flank."

The voice was wrapped in true qi, like thunder, and it forcibly overwhelmed the noise of the army and reached everyone's ears.

Immediately after, the left and right wings resounded with overwhelming sounds.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

Momentum like a wave.

There were not many defenders in Montenegro, and several rounds of artillery and catapults bombarded them, and those who were killed were killed, those who were stoned to death, and the rest were all frightened by the sudden scene.

When Chen Shou finally stopped some resistance, the defenders and people in the city were all throwing away their armor and running.

Soon, the Chu army rushed into the city of Montenegro.

The defenders of the city were terrified.

The king of Zhenxi held a horse lance like a purgatory killing god, and there were no corpses left everywhere in the stumps, almost rushing out of a blood line in the camp.

After the few generals were dismembered one by one, there was no one to stop the resistance.

Half an hour later.

The city of Montenegro is broken.

The main general Chen Shou intended to escape, but was captured alive by Wu Shixian with troops and escorted to the king of Zhenxi.

Chen Shou recognized the armor of the Zhenxi Army, and looked at the white-haired tiger-eyed veteran who got off his horse, took off his helmet, and remembered who this person was.

When the king of Zhenxi was still the Marquis of Zhenxi, he guarded the Western Realm for decades, known as the god of war in the Western Realm, and the old sword immortal of the Chu State prophesied that the Marquis of Zhenxi was the first person to reach the realm of the grandmaster among all the first-grade martial artists.

When he saw him, Chen Shou was a little dumbfounded.

The king of Zhenxi actually personally led the troops to fight, could it be that the Chu army had already begun a full-scale attack on the Southern Zhou?

The king of Zhenxi didn't talk much, and the first thing he said to Chen Shou was: "I want to die or I want to live."

It is not easy for Chen Shou to cultivate to the second rank of martial artist, and the more people he has, the more afraid he is of death, of course he doesn't want to die, and says, "I want to live."

"Well, the king asks you a few things, and if you answer truthfully, the king can spare your life, but if you dare to conceal or deceive the king, then blame the king's ruthlessness."

"Ming... Understood."

"Are you the lord of this city?"

"I'm the Black Mountain City Lord General Chen Shou."

"Why are there only these defenders in the city?"

"It's autumn harvest season, and most of the defenders have gone home to collect grain." Chen Shoudao.

As soon as these words came out, not only the eyes of King Zhenxi lit up, but even Wu Shixian, Gu Jing and others next to him looked inexplicably a little excited.

The autumn harvest means that there is food, so they can replenish it here.

Zhenxihou then asked, "Is there a granary in the city?"

「... Yes."

"How far is the nearest reinforcement to this city, how many are there, and who will the Lord be?" King Zhenxi asked a few more questions one after another.

And everything that he knew, Chen Shouquan confessed.

After asking, the king of Zhenxi sealed Chen Shou's cultivation and asked him to take him down, and then asked Wu Shixian to lead the army to occupy the granaries in the city, and asked Gu Jing to lead the army to the countryside to collect grain.

It is the harvest season, and these grains cannot be wasted, and if they are used to replenish the whole army, they can also reduce the supply pressure in the rear of the Chu State.

After all, the Chu army is now fighting on two fronts, and the daily consumption of military salaries is very huge.

In addition, if these grains are collected, then there will be less grain in the Southern Zhou, and in a sense, it will also weaken the power of the Southern Zhou.

...

When the news reached the Southern Zhou Jingshi.

Emperor Huan Ping, who was eating lunch with the queen, slapped the golden bowl in his hand on the table in front of him, the table was torn apart, and the rice in the golden bowl was also scattered all over the ground, Deng Zifu next to him was startled, and instinctively got up to dodge.

"It's angry, it's angry..." Emperor Huan Ping was extremely angry.

Deng Zifu slapped his heaving chest slightly, and then stepped forward, cleaning up the mess on the ground, while persuading, "Your Majesty dissipates your anger and takes care of the dragon's body."

Emperor Huan Ping's anger could not be extinguished, and he roared: "The news of the loss of the original city and the head of the Southern Zhao has actually reached the Jingshi for so long, if it weren't for the loss of Black Mountain City, I wouldn't have known that Du Qingtian also brought the Chu army in. Waste, a bunch of waste."

Deng Zifu squatted on the ground, wearing a pale yellow dress, her hair was curled up in a high bun, under her forehead, her jade face was repaired, her skin was like congealed fat, and her temperament was graceful.

Emperor Huan Ping continued: "In this way, the elites of the Southern Zhou Dynasty are busy dealing with Chen Mo, and in the court, there is no general who can resist Du Qingtian in the northeast, and with Du Qingtian's strength, he is bound to be able to go all the way south and coerce the Jingshi."

Deng Zifu didn't understand military affairs, although he wanted to worry about Emperor Huanping, he didn't know how to speak, his red lips squirmed for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Emperor Huan Ping sighed, but he also knew that if Deng Zifu was asked to say a solution, it would be too difficult, so he could only say, "Come and summon the ministers into the palace to discuss matters."
