Wanzhou, Songlin County.

At this time, outside the city of Song Linjun, 20,000 forbidden troops were personally led by Yun Bi, and they were menacing.

Although most of the forbidden army this time were newly recruited soldiers, there were 10,000 veterans of Huya Pass mixed in, and they also had a strong killing intent.

"I'll only give you one day, either Kaicheng surrenders or dies!"

Outside the city, Yun Bi rode on a tall fierce horse, walking back and forth where the bow and arrow could not be shot, and unleashing cruel words towards the city.

And the defenders in the city, as if facing a great enemy, looked at the black and oppressive enemy with expressionless faces.

Now Yun Bi ran to the front of the battle to scold, and the general Ling Ping also had to scold back to settle the hearts of the soldiers in the city.

"Yun Bi, don't be rampant, the world knows that you are a fierce soldier in Huya Pass, but my children in Wanzhou are not vegetarians!"

Ling Ping stood condescendingly on the city tower and shouted, but his momentum was always a little worse.

Seeing this, Yun Bi did not refute, stopped surrendering and returned to the military tent behind him to deploy the siege of the city, this time he was going to give the old soldiers of Anhui a dismount.

Early in the morning of the second day, after the two sides lit fires to cook and eat, the fierce siege battle began.

Yun Bi received Xiao Jiu's funding, and he had a lot of cannon firearms in his hand, and when he came up, it was an unreasonable bombardment.

"Boom~"

Shells were smashed onto the towers, blowing up the defenders and sending up bursts of flying rubble.

After all, Song Lincheng is only a small city, the city is not tall and not strong, although there are many defenders in the city, it is still difficult to resist.

In this way, the artillery bombardment was carried out for a morning, and the defenders of the city were already frightened by the fierce artillery fire, and they were all in the corners of the city towers.

If it weren't for Ling Ping's high bounty in order to stabilize the morale of the army, I am afraid that all these soldiers on the city tower would have run away.

But although the sound of artillery stopped, the truly tragic siege battle was carried out thoroughly.

One by one, the veterans of Huya Pass took the lead, and under the order of the general, they charged forward desperately, which led to the morale of the recruits behind them.

The defenders on the city tower watched the forbidden army rushing towards the sky with a shouting of killing, and they hurriedly shot, if they let this group of forbidden troops rush up to the city tower, they were afraid that they would fall in a short time.

Ling Ping, the defender of the city, was already stunned by the murderous aura of the other party when the forbidden army launched the first wave of charge, and hid in the rear to command from a distance.

But this was only a tentative wave of attacks launched by Yun Bi, and after the siege on the first day, soldiers were sent to fire artillery at night, constantly harassing the defenders of the city.

There was a roaring cannon sound constantly tormenting, and there was always a fear that the other side would have a death squad sneaking up, and the defenders in the city had no intention of sleeping at all, and they were all nervous.

The defender Ling Ping is also a waste, he was born in a wealthy family and has no military experience at all, and at this time he relies on his generals to provide advice.

On the second day, the forbidden army under the command of Yun Bi changed the practice of washing the ground with artillery fire yesterday, and directly ordered to storm the city when they came up.

Groups of soldiers who were not afraid of death rushed towards the tower, leaving the physically and mentally exhausted defenders emaciated.

In such a morning, although the forbidden army did not take the tower of Song Lincheng, the defenders could be said to have little strength to fight again.

When the guard general Ling Ping saw the appearance of the soldiers defending the city, he no longer had the vigor he had when he went out on the expedition, and all he wanted was to get out of here.

Ling Ping is not qualified as a military general, but his head is a little clever, and he is ready to abandon the city and flee when he sees that Song Lincheng can't hold it.

In order to break the fighting spirit of the defenders in the city, Yun Bi specially adopted the method of encircling three and missing one, leaving a south gate without troops.

Now that Ling Ping thinks that he has found an opportunity, he decides to find a stand-in to guard the military tent, and he has a golden cicada out of his shell.

Ling Ping knew very well in his heart, now the forbidden army is menacing, and they are definitely the elite of the elite, and now they only need to be entrusted to Song Lincheng for two days.

The government soldiers sent reinforcements from the Wanzhou Prefecture could easily recover Song Lincheng.

Ling Ping himself also arranged it very well, except for a few henchmen and generals who were about to take it away, the other soldiers who were fighting on the front line of the city tower did not know his whereabouts at all.

At that time, as long as the stand-in gives orders for himself in the military tent, and orders his subordinates to strictly guard against death, even if the forbidden army enters the city, he can only catch a substitute ghost.

Ling Ping's calculations crackled in his heart, but the bad thing was that he shouldn't run away with the concubine he bought in Goolan City in the city.

At night, the cool evening breeze blew across the battlefield, rolling up a trace of air with the smell of gunsmoke, and Ling Ping also took a group of generals and his little wife to prepare to go out of the city.

"Lord Ling, going out of the city this time is a secret matter, I'm afraid it's not easy to get away with a woman."

An upright military general rode a horse and said to Ling Ping, who was side by side, with an obvious implication that he did not approve of bringing a female dependent.

When Ling Ping heard this, he also looked at the carriage behind him with a little hesitation, sighed deeply and said, "That woman is not in love with me, how can I bear to leave her alone." ”

When the general heard this, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only drive his horse to the back of the team and urge the soldiers to speed up.

When the group left the city, it was unimpeded, and they rushed directly to the south, and they did not encounter any obstacles.

Ling Ping looked back at the city gate that was getting farther and farther away, and vowed that he would definitely bring reinforcements to level the forbidden army here, but as soon as he thought so, the soldiers who were hurrying in front issued a warning.

"Who?"

The soldier at the head of the line let out a loud shout, but he was answered by the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air.

"Lord Yun is really like a god, this time it must be a big fish."

As soon as the words fell, one by one, the forbidden troops who had been ambushed here for a long time rushed out, each with a military crossbow, and swished out with crossbow arrows.

Seeing this, Ling Ping immediately adjusted the horse's head and ran towards the carriage behind him.

"Gillian, come out, come out."

This Ling Ping is also an infatuated person after all, and he didn't forget his newly married wife at the last moment.

If Ling Ping turned back immediately at this time, he might be able to run back to Song Lincheng, but the young woman in the carriage was already frightened, and she just kept crying.

Just when Ling Ping dragged the young woman out of the carriage, the pursuers behind him had already arrived, and it was an arrow to Ling Ping's shoulder, Ling Ping couldn't hold the reins in pain, and fell straight down from the saddle.

The general of the forbidden army who was in charge of ambushing this place was overjoyed when he saw this, and directly tied Ling with hemp rope and sent it to Yun Bi's Chinese army tent.

When Ling Ping was escorted to Yun Bi by the five flowers, the latter was still a little surprised, and his eyes were full of playfulness when he looked at him.

"Lord Ling?"

Ling Ping's face was like ashes at this time, knowing that he might not be able to escape death today, so he turned his head and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Yun Bi knew that it was unlikely that he wanted to persuade the other party to surrender, so he directly changed direction, "I heard that Lord Ling doesn't love the country and loves the beauty, and it is certainly respectable that the general would rather die than give in, but how should your beloved spend the rest of his life?" ”

Yun Bi's outspoken words brought Ling Ping back to his senses, and the expression on his face kept changing, "I heard that the King of Benevolence and Virtue will not kill innocents by mistake, Gillian is not at fault, but she shouldn't follow me." ”

Looking at Ling Ping's face full of determination, Yun Bi felt a little funny in his heart, "Actually, Lord Ling doesn't have to be like this, as long as you make a deal with me, you and her can get along without trouble." ”

……

Early in the morning of the second day, the dilapidated gate of Song Lincheng slowly opened, and the guard general Ling Ping formally surrendered to the forbidden army on behalf of the Wanzhou army.

In fact, the defenders of this war did not want to fight any longer, and there was no psychological burden at all when surrendering at this time.

Seeing that Ling Ping was so knowledgeable, Yun Bi directly sent someone to send the other party to Kyoto City and confer an official title, while he himself obtained Song Lincheng and a large army at a very small price.

Not long after Yun Bi took Song Lincheng, the army from Wanzhou also arrived outside Song Lin County, and the main general Zhao Xin almost fainted directly after hearing that Ling Ping had surrendered.

"Shaft!"

Zhao Xin, a veteran who is over fifty years old, scolded in the military tent, and he hated Ling Ping who led the army to surrender for the sake of a woman more than the forbidden army.

"Go back and tell that old guy Ling Shichang that he has raised a good son!"

Listening to Zhao Xin's ridicule, all the generals in the military tent didn't dare to breathe, and they all lowered their heads and looked at their toes without saying a word.

Although Ling Ping made a big mistake, he was born in the Ling family in Wanzhou, and for this kind of gate valve disciple, he generally failed in the end.

Maybe he will take his position in the army later, but Ling Ping himself will not really be subject to military law.

The current situation made Zhao Xin a little dilemma, and he wanted to continue to go to Song Lincheng, but the more than 30,000 people on hand seemed to be unable to beat the other party at all.

To go or not to go?

The people discussed in the big tent of the Chinese army until late at night, and then decided to temporarily station these soldiers brought from Anhui Prefecture in Shaosha County, which was adjacent to Songlin County, and sent a letter to the state capital, waiting for the state government's response.

Most of the forbidden troops in Yun Bi's hands are elites who have come out of the side, and these generals in Zhao Xin's army must be ten thousand in their hearts who don't want to fight each other.

Now stationed in Shaosha Chengguan to wait and see, it is tantamount to directly giving up Song Lin County, which has just been divided into territories by Anhui Prefecture.

When the news reached Song Lincheng, Yun Bi, who was always on guard against the attack of the Wanzhou army, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now although Yun Bi has won many battles, the soldiers under his command are all fierce men who dare to fight, but the logistics have never been guaranteed.

After the war and looting in the Naoli area, the people had already become one out of ten, and they were ravaged by the rebel army stranded in Kyoto, and it was even more difficult to collect military rations than to ascend to the sky.

If the Wanzhou army really entangled a series of northern forces such as Yuzhou Gu Chong and raised troops to attack Kyoto again, the outcome was still unknown.

"Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you."

Yun Bi suddenly remembered a sentence in Xiao Jiu's letter to himself, and at this time, he couldn't help muttering to himself.

If you want to calm the world, there is still a long way to go to recover Great Xia, and Yun Bi, who is in a high position, can decide the life and death of many people with one sentence, but who can understand the depression in his heart?

Yun Bi looked up at the groggy sky, wondering if Great Xia would have a chance to be reborn after Qin Yu's death.
