Under the order of King Ning, his subordinates found a local Pan Peng, who was familiar with Anqing, who left Anqing in his early years because of poverty and suffered all kinds of hardships when he was earning a living outside.

When King Ning was recruiting, he also went to try his skills out of speculation, but he knew that his many years of experience in the rivers and lakes allowed him to successfully enter King Ning's mansion and become an inferior guest, but it was better than the down-and-out rivers and lakes.

Following King Ning's army from birth to death, he didn't have many complaints, after all, he had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and it was difficult to survive without any ability.

Pan Peng can't kill people, but his eloquence is not bad, he can often beat the soldiers around him, and everyone is happy to listen to him brag.

This is a person who is good at catering to his superiors, King Ning can't attack the city, and he can't find a suitable candidate to enter the city to persuade him to surrender for a while, and after a few days of delay, I don't know who recommended Pan Peng to King Ning.

King Ning immediately summoned this inconspicuous little character, and after some conversation, he felt that this person was clever and eloquent, and could be entrusted with important tasks, so he ordered him to enter the city to persuade him to surrender, and if he succeeded, he would worship him as the secretary.

Pan Peng's heart was overjoyed, but the experience of rolling in the rivers and lakes for many years made this person more slippery than a loach, and he wanted him to risk losing his head to get rich, and he was not willing to do this loss-making business.

Therefore, he privately found his wife and brother Chen Yi to enter the city to listen to the news, and if the guards in the city were good at talking, he felt that he was alone and in danger.

Who knew that as soon as Chen Yi entered Anqing City, he was tied up and trapped by Yang Rui's order, Yang Rui looked at Chen Yi with an innocent face and scolded loudly: "Dog thief, what else do you have to say?"

"The general spared his life, the villain just came to greet the general on behalf of my brother-in-law, and had no other intentions. Chen Yi was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he spoke in a slurred manner.

"Oh, I heard that you were sent by King Naning to persuade him to surrender. Yang Rui said viciously.

"Wronged, how can the villain have that ability, the person who persuaded him to surrender is my brother-in-law, and it has nothing to do with the villain. ”

Yang Rui snorted coldly and said: "It's not a good thing, as a native of Anqing, instead of defending the country, he helps the thieves, he should be killed!"

The word "should be killed" was said very seriously, and it was loud, so scared that Chen Yi's heart was broken, and he begged for mercy with a crying voice at the moment, Yang Rui couldn't see this kind of mischievous goods without a little blood at all, so he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Give me eight pieces of this greedy person who is afraid of death, and throw it off the city wall, just kill a hundred people, and see who dares to come and die!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to dismantle himself, Chen Yi was so frightened that he urinated and urinated, and he couldn't stop begging for mercy, Yang Rui stared at this bad thing angrily, signaled his subordinates to hurry up, and his soldiers dragged him out.

After a while, Chen Yi's hands, feet and head were thrown off the city wall, and the rebels couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it.

After Pan Peng learned the news that his wife and brother were dismembered, the anger on his face rose suddenly, thinking that he would not be able to explain in front of his wife in the future, and that there would be a place to rely on his father-in-law in the future, the other party would definitely not have a good face, maybe he would become an enemy, he thought about this, and he couldn't even eat.

But for him, the worse news came one after another after a stick of incense, it turned out that the prefect Zhang Wenjin in order to show his determination to resist the enemy, followed Yang Rui's example, and arrested Pan Peng's wife, children, and even his father-in-law's family in Anqing City to the execution ground, and beheaded them all.

After Pan Peng learned the news, he beat his chest and scolded: "Raised by a son of a bitch, what a ruthless heart!" and then vomited blood and died. So this eloquent person who persuaded him to surrender came to a sad end before he really entered the city.

The rebels didn't expect the two city guards in Anqing City to be so ruthless, and they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts, and the soldiers in the city were even more frightened, for fear that they would be beheaded if they were not negligent, so they fought up and stared at the enemy's every move.

After King Ning learned the news that Pan Peng was angry to death, he was so angry with the two officials in the city that he smashed the wine glass on the spot, and scolded: "Pass the order, after breaking through Anqing City, slaughter those two horsemen of the nine clans, those two things that don't know what to do, whip the corpse, and strengthen the army!"

The rebels besieging the city launched a fierce attack again, and the firearms were originally intended to be used until the attack on Nanjing, but in the face of Anqing, a fortified city, the military advisor Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi decided after discussion and pushed the most fierce firepower.

The trebuchet went first, and this time it was not only the boulders that were delivered, but also many fire bombs, and the fire bombs and boulders smashed on the city wall, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the city wall seemed to be a sea of fire, a scene of doom.

The wails and curses of the defenders were endless, and King Ning sat on the military vehicle in the town, watching the defenders gradually decline, with a smug smile on his face.

Just when he thought that Anqing was already in his pocket and was about to celebrate the banquet, Yang Rui's hoarse roar sounded on the city wall: "Don't retreat, whoever dares to retreat, the back row will behead the front row!"

Although it has been 70 years since the defense of Beijing, Yang Rui still remembers the glorious achievements of Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department. Lord Yu Qian has suffered a strange injustice through the ages, and he has always been very proud of it, but fortunately, it became ordinary later, and Yang Rui's admiration for him has increased unabated. At this moment, when he was in battle, he borrowed the practice of Lord Yu to stabilize the morale of the army.

The rebels attacked fiercely, the defenders swore to resist to the death, not giving up an inch of land, and there were countless casualties on both sides.

The rebels temporarily withdrew their troops, and after more than ten days of bloody fighting, almost every piece turned its head and every inch of land was sprinkled with blood.

After King Ning woke up, he asked about the results of the siege, and Liu Yangzheng said tremblingly: "Back to Your Highness, the soldiers of our army attacked desperately, and suffered heavy casualties, and now they are resting with withdrawal." ”

"I want results. ”

"Anqing, so far it has not been captured. ”

Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was completely angry and scolded: "You guys of wine bags and rice bags! Not a single Anqing can be captured, let alone Jinling!"

After scolding, Liu Yangzheng cautiously exited the room, King Ning smashed a few pieces of porcelain, ordered his personal guards to put on his battle armor, he wanted to attack again, and personally went to the front of the battle to supervise the battle.

The news of Anqing's siege reached Wang Shouren, although he expected that King Ning would fight quickly, but what he didn't expect was that they had all of a sudden already arrived in Anqing.

Knowing that Jiujiang had been lost in one day, Wang Shouren's face showed a worried look, and he hurriedly convened a military meeting of his staff.

Anqing is the last line of defense to defend Nanjing, and there is no room for error. Wang Shouren was so anxious that he ordered the troops to assemble immediately and quickly reinforce Anqing.

The big war is on the verge of breaking out!
