The battle in the city was soon over.

Wang Cheng's side already had a numerical advantage, not to mention a sudden attack on those two Xia troops.

There were more than 4,000 Xia cavalry, and less than 1,000 escaped in the end.

In this battle, Li Yuanqing brought 10,000 Pingzhou troops, most of whom could not go back.

Dizhou Yamen.

There are several rows of tables in the lobby, all of which are long tables improvised from square tables.

There is a lot of food on the table, chicken, duck, beef and mutton, melons, fruits, vegetables and wine, everything.

The tables were lined with people.

Li Yuanqing, Hu Jiawei, Hu Zongyi, Liu Yucheng and other officers were all among them.

Li Yuanqing sat at the front, and after taking the big pill given by Wang Cheng, his complexion improved significantly.

Wang Cheng was carrying a jar of wine at this time and looked at everyone: "Today, we can sit here and drink and eat, thanks to all the brothers. Of course, we have to thank the governor of Dizhou City, without him, we wouldn't have eaten so many good things. ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

Li Yuanqing also smiled and explained: "Dizhou City is known as the waist of Lingzhou, the city is high and strong, and among all the cities in Xia Kingdom, except for the royal capital, the defense is even inferior to Lingzhou City. Therefore, a large amount of military supplies are stored here, just to deal with the mutation of Lingzhou one day, and the defenders of Lingzhou can retreat to Dizhou City. It's a pity ......"

He looked at Wang Cheng with complicated eyes, he really didn't expect that Wang Cheng would be able to break through Dizhou City so quickly, and directly cut off the back road of the hussar general Li Yuanxu.

How did this person break through Dizhou City?

He wondered what was going on here in the morning.

At this time, Wang Cheng walked up to Li Lin and said, "The reason why we were able to win a complete victory in this battle is that the first credit belongs to General Li Lin. General Li Lin defended a city alone, and successfully dragged Li Yuanqing's 10,000 elites, so that Wang Cheng could break through Lingzhou City. ”

He grabbed Li Lin's arm, and Li Lin was startled by this sudden movement and quickly got up.

Wang Cheng held Li Lin's arm high and said, "General Li Lin is a martial artist!" ”

"General Shenwu!"

"General Shenwu!"

……

The crowd shouted in unison.

Wang Cheng put down Li Lin's arm and said with a smile: "The general abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and this time he made a great contribution, Wang Cheng will personally ask for credit for the general, and the king will definitely reward the general." ”

"General Xie!" Li Lin said with his fists clenched.

Wang Cheng walked to Hu Jiawei's side, and Hu Jiawei got up from his seat with a "brush".

"Jiawei, you and I have never met before, but you let me see your bravery in this battle, and you are worthy of being the first person under General Li's command!"

Hu Jiawei smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Subsequently, Wang Cheng walked in front of Hu Zongyi, Liu Yucheng and others successively, and counted their merits one by one.

"This great victory, all the brothers have made great contributions, and the court will reward everyone. However, before the imperial court reward is issued, I will take 30% of the capture of Dizhou City, and all of them will be rewarded to all the brothers. ”

As soon as Wang Cheng's words came out, everyone immediately cheered.

What's more exciting than receiving a bounty?

Wang Cheng pressed his hand to calm everyone down, and he continued: "There is an old saying in our hometown, it is called fame but it is taken immediately, this time the brothers have made a lot of contributions, but I think the brothers can make greater contributions." It is not impossible to worship the marquis and shine on the lintel in the future! ”

He looked at Hu Jiawei on the side again, and said: "Jiawei has made a lot of contributions this time, and he will definitely be knighted. ”

After Hu Jiawei heard this, his eyes lit up.

Others also have a glint in their eyes, and no one can resist the temptation of "knighthood".

After pouring a bowl of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" down, Wang Cheng raised the wine jar in his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, do it!" ”

"!"

……

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, it was no problem, and I drank from noon to three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Cheng didn't go anywhere else, so he rested in this yamen.

He drank a lot of wine, but for his powerful qi and blood, it was no different from drinking water, and it was difficult for him to get drunk.

He was too tired.

Since last night's raid on Liuzhou, but this morning, he has hardly stopped for a moment, either fighting or on the way to fight, and the distance he has traveled for most of the day alone is at least 400 miles.

Qi and blood are so strong that he can't help tossing like this, so after the end of the scene, he told Li Lin not to relax, pay attention to defense, etc., and he fell asleep in the lobby.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

The sun shines through the doors and windows so that people don't want to open their eyes, and it's a good day.

Wang Cheng got up from the couch and suddenly found that there were two people standing in front of him.

One person is in his thirties, with three-dimensional facial features, a tough appearance, a tall posture, and a general's armor, which is General Li Lin.

One person was twenty-seven or eighteen, with a face full of flesh, dark skin, a burly body, and a fish-scale armor with blood stains on it.

Wang Cheng's gaze automatically skimmed over Li Lin, looked at the other person, and said in surprise: "Zhiyang, why are you here?" ”

This burly man is his old subordinate, the current military Sima - Zhang Zhiyang.

"Poof!"

Zhang Zhiyang suddenly knelt on the ground, and the one-meter-nine man burst into tears, crying: "General, leave the south...... Nanli County was breached. ”

"What?"

Wang Cheng was stunned, and only reacted after a while, came to Zhang Zhiyang in three steps and two steps, pulled him up from the ground, and asked, "How is it possible?" How could Nanli County be breached? ”

When he left Nanli County, he left more than 7,000 horses, and later Zhang Han led 3,000 cavalry to take over the Zhangzhou defense line, so that there were nearly 5,000 defenders in Nanli County.

Now that the entire southeast of the Xia Kingdom has been messed up by him, how can he have the strength to attack Nanli County?

"It's Li Yuanxu!"

Li Lin took over at this time and said, "Li Yuanxu personally led three thousand men and horses to raid Nanli County. ”

"It's him!"

Wang Cheng was suddenly, he immediately remembered that after the first battle yesterday, Li Yuanxu disappeared.

According to common sense, Li Yuanxu should have left here, who would have thought that he would organize the remnants of the army to sneak attack Nanli County, which was very well defended.

Totally unexpected!

"Even if he, Li Yuanxu, personally leads the troops, I am far from the city to the south with thick walls, and thousands of iron-armed crossbows are arranged, it will not be easy for him to break through!" Wang Cheng was puzzled.

The Iron Arm Divine Crossbow is a great weapon in the army, supplemented by a powerful archer, and the great grandmaster can shoot it.

Not to mention that Li Yuanxu only brought 3,000 men and horses, even if he brought 10,000 people, it would be difficult to get close to Nanli County, let alone break it.

Zhang Zhiyang said: "Li Yuanxu personally led 500 Black Eagle Army to raid Nanli County, and his younger brother Li Hongzhong led 2,500 cavalry to respond, and we couldn't stop it even if we resisted desperately." ”

"Black Hawks!"

Wang Cheng's eyes froze, and this name that frightened countless soldiers appeared again.

Although he has successfully wiped out the Black Hawk Army, there is no doubt about the strength of the Black Hawk Army.

This is a powerful army composed of warriors whose strength is at least Qi and Blood Realm, and they are almost proficient in mountain warfare, jungle warfare, and plain warfare, and they can even act at night, which is simply a special force in this era.

Wang Cheng could already imagine how Nanli County was breached, and muttered: "Using the opponent's tricks to defeat the opponent, Li Yuanxu is really difficult. ”

Not really!

With only a small number of elite men and horses, he carried out a surprise attack by surprise, which was his Wang Cheng's usual trick, and Li Yuanxu used this method to break through Nanli.

Seeing Wang Cheng's solemn expression, Zhang Zhiyang knelt on the ground again with a "poof", and did not dare to raise his head down.

"Get up!"

Wang Cheng glared at him and said angrily: "My Wang Cheng's soldiers will either die on the battlefield, or they will stand up and be a man, and they will never kneel down casually. ”

"Get up for Lao Tzu!"

An angry roar sounded in his ears, Zhang Zhiyang "trembled" for a moment, and quickly got up from the ground.

Wang Cheng stared at him and said word by word: "Remember this shame, give me a hundred, a thousand times more in the future!" Did you hear me? ”

"Mark it and get it!" Zhang Zhiyang shouted loudly.

Wang Cheng's face softened a little, and said, "Tell me, what is the situation in Nanli County now?" ”

Zhang Zhiyang then told the situation one by one.

After Wang Cheng heard this, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

If the last time Li Xiang, the prince of the Xia Kingdom, led the Golden Sword Guard to raid Nanli County just to plunder the goods, Li Yuanxu went to slaughter the city this time, purely to take revenge.

More than half of the more than 5,000 defenders who remained in Nanli were killed, and the civilians in the city also suffered heavy casualties.

Because he had only experienced a bloody turmoil not long ago, Nanli County's vitality was greatly injured, and now if he comes again, Nanli County's waist pole is about to be broken, and he can't recover for a long time.

"General, your general's mansion has been burned, those maids and servants in the mansion have either been killed or robbed, and the whereabouts of General Liu's daughter are unknown." Zhang Zhiyang added.

Liu ...... Wen...... ...... quiet," Wang Cheng muttered to himself.

This poor child, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, has suffered so many tragic experiences, and has not yet completely recovered from the grief of losing his father, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

Wang Cheng suddenly looked at Li Lin and said, "General Li Lin, Dizhou City will be handed over to you, and I won't bring any of the men and horses under your command, including the defenders of Dizhou City." The brothers Li Yuanqing and Li Yuanxu lost their troops this time, and they expected that they would not bring troops to attack for a while, so they must make good use of this time to arrange the defense of the city. ”

Li Lin nodded, and then said with some concern: "General, the two brothers Li Yuanqing don't know where to go now, in case you run into them......"

He didn't go on, but the meaning was self-evident.

Wang Cheng and a small team of people brought by Zhang Zhiyang are more than a dozen people, if they really run into Li Yuanqing or Li Yuanxu, it will be a big trouble.

"There are few people and small goals, it is unlikely that I will meet them, if I really want to meet them, it can only mean that my Wang Cheng's life should be like this!"

Wang Cheng's expression was indifferent, and when he saw that Li Lin was about to say, he stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Without further ado, the city of Dizhou will ask General Li!" ”

Li Lin said no more, and said solemnly: "Li Lin will live up to the general's trust!" ”

Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, and then called Zhang Zhiyang, and the two quickly walked out of the lobby.
