"General, good news, because we blocked the Wuwei Army's subsequent siege here, the Wuwei Army in Fan County decided to surrender." Sun Zhuang, who was in charge of intelligence, said happily to Zhao Xun, who was checking military affairs.

"Oh? Really?" Zhao Xun put down the military affairs in his hand and said in surprise.

"Yes, Sun Qilian has sent back the news, and we have asked someone to go into the city to investigate. There should be no problem. Now we need to send people to the city to take over the city defense and collect surrendered soldiers. We cannot let them become defeated troops and roam all over the country.

.Also, the garrison general of Fan County, Liu Jin, who is also the famous Wu Ben Lang General, has come here now to pay homage to the general." Sun Zhuang said with a smile.

"Come on? Invite him in!" Zhao Xun was very happy. You know, like Changli County, there are 5,000 guards and military guards. If you want to take them down, it will take some effort.

It would be the best to take it without bloodshed.

A moment later, a tall and thirty-year-old man walked in with Sun Qilian. After seeing Zhao Xun, he knelt down and said, "Submitted General Sun Qilian (Liu Jin) pays homage to General."

Zhao Xun raised his right hand with a faint smile and said, "Two generals are exempted from the gifts, please sit down and talk."

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "General Sun made great contributions to our army this time. I don't know, General Sun has something to ask for?" Zhao Xun was very direct. After all, Sun Qi Company was a surrendered general of the Wuwei Army, but now he is persuaded to surrender to the city guard.

Jun and Zhao Xun cannot be without expression.

Sun Qilian said in a deep voice: "Liu Jin and I are willing to serve the general, and I am willing to be a soldier under the general's tent."

"Huh?" Zhao Xun was stunned and said, "You two are allied forces of the Five Martial Guards, and they are much better than being a lieutenant here. Besides, I have not restricted your freedom, so why not bring you

People leave? As long as you ask your soldiers who are willing to join our army to stay, the rest of the soldiers and equipment handed over, they can leave. Of course, after this battle, after all, this general will not give to the enemy outside the city

If the army increases its strength, it will not allow you to leave the city and become cannon fodder."

Sun Qilian smiled bitterly and said, "I know General Li doesn't trust us, but we really want to join the Shanyang Army. We are General Wu Ben Lang of the Wu Guard Army, right? But now...

The general is no longer the same as before, so the former Wu Ben Lang General has become an unpopular person now. Otherwise, how could the Wu Ben Lang General, who should have led 10,000 troops personally stationed in the front line city?"

After Sun Qilian's story, Zhao Xun understood that they were all under the command of Ding Qiang, the original general of the Wuwei Army, and they were close friends. You must know that Ding Qiang personally entered Yanzhou Prefecture, and more than 35,000 troops were stationed there.

The three southern prefectures show that the three or four left-behind generals in the south are all Ding Qiang's men, otherwise they would not have been allowed to stay in the rear. Unfortunately, Ding Qiang was defeated by Yanzhou Prefecture and Xuzhou Prefecture.

Join forces to do it. Then, Yangzhou also sent new officers and generals.

As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers of the new generals will naturally have to replace their confidants and sit in the main position. Therefore, the remnants of the 35,000 Wuwei Army were expanded to more than 60,000 people, and a few more people in the army were added.

The Wu Ben generals, while the original Wu Ben generals, made them guilty and made meritorious service on the grounds that they were unfavorable to protect the generals of the Wu Guard, and all of them were exiled to the front line. Therefore, these original Wu Ben generals were all not liked by the new generals.

Abandoned son.

"So far, the original four Wu Ben Lang Generals are only two of us. The other two have all died in battle with the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. Of course, this is what the general of the Wu Guard hopes to see now

If we lose the city and the weapons and equipment in the hands of the soldiers, there will be no other result when we go back, and there is only one way, that is death. We are unwilling to be treated as abandoned by each other like this, and we are unwilling to be

Baibai was killed by them. I also saw the strength of the general's soldiers, and also saw the disagreement between the general and the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. Therefore, we are willing to serve the general. I hope the general will take it in!" Sun Qilian respectfully said that he was willing to serve the general.

Said.

Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I can accept you. However, the military rules and regulations of our army are different from those of your Wuwei Army. If you two have any mistakes, don't blame me for not reminding you. In addition, you two

Although they were all from General Wu Ben Lang, they had no achievements in my Shanyang Army. Therefore, I cannot give you too high status. But one of you persuaded surrender successfully, and the other led the army to surrender, so I can

If you are appointed as the post of whistle chief, you will need to be promoted depending on your credit. Are you willing?"

Sun Qilian and Liu Jin all knelt in front of Zhao Xun and bowed: "I am willing to do so, and I will never object."

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Very good, get up, Liu Jin, go back and count the soldiers of the Wuwei Army in Fan County. If you are willing to stay, you will be organized into our army for intensive training. If you are unwilling to stay, you will hand over the armor and equipment.

, After the war is over, I will let him go. Li Guochang, you can take people to Fan County, and you can check the treasury, recruit new soldiers, appease the people, and provide relief to the victims. By the way, continue to move the people westward.

Yes, there is no need to report to the Yanzhou Prefecture Military Office in Changli County that Fan County has recovered.”

"I will receive the order!" Li Guochang responded in a deep voice, then took Sun Qilian and Liu Jin away.

"General, are these two people... they trust? General Wu Ben of the Wu Guard Army is quite the position of the chief lieutenant of our army. Even the down-and-out general Wu Ben of the Wu Guard Army is above the lieutenant." Zhang Yongxue said carefully, in his heart

I was still suspicious of the two. After all, it is not acceptable for ordinary people to change from General Wu Ben Lang to the whistle commander who leads 200 troops.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "What you are worried about is not unreasonable, but as long as Fan County is in our hands and then the surrendered soldiers in their hands will not cause any trouble on our side. If they really surrendered to each other, they would not cause any trouble.

, that is naturally the best. If our army expands, we need capable officers first. If not, staying in the position of the whistle leader will not play a big role.”

"Let's not mention these for now. What we need to do now is to deal with the enemy in front of us. The more than 10,000 military guards outside this city are the enemies we need to face head-on. If they don't solve them, we will not be at peace here.

Only then did we take the Songzhou Prefecture back. At least, we didn’t have any moves next, and Xu Jie and Situ Wen had nothing to say."

"You must not be careless. You think that if you block the Wuwei Army's siege for one time, you will think that the Wuwei Army is just like this. The opponent's catapult has not yet been dispatched, and the siege tower can still be built. In addition, they have continuous support from the rear, the longer they fight,

The more unfavorable it is for us, maybe we will lose at that time."

"Guan Lin, how many war horses are there for exchanges from Jizhou?" Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.

"Report to the general, there are more than 3,000 horses. In addition to our own, there are more than 3,500 horses." Guan Lin replied.

"Three thousand... can we gather 3,500 cavalry?" Zhao Xun asked in a narrow voice.

"Yes, there is no problem with three thousand cavalry. In addition, we can also make up five hundred heavy armored cavalry from the capture of the Martial Guards. Choose the tall and powerful cavalry among them to be heavy armored cavalry, which will definitely have miraculous effects."

Guan Lin said excitedly that it has been several days since he took over the war horses from Jizhou. It seems that today, it is probably going to come in handy.

"Very good, 3,500 cavalry, you can prepare immediately. Three days later, you must be able to go to the battlefield. I remember that many of our soldiers were killed from Siyang County, but they were half of them.

Someone from a cavalry, I will send people to join the cavalry, and they are the real elite cavalry."

"General, if you want to fight with the enemy, are there only 3,500 cavalrymen? "Will there be too few?" After hearing Zhao Xun's instructions, Lu Yu understood what Zhao Xun's arrangements were.

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "It's indeed too few, but we have too few war horses and knights, which is helpless. If the military guards become, we will not have a safe rest time. This time, we will beat him up,

They dare not act on us easily and instead attack the Yanzhou Prefecture Army."

"Besides, I look at the Martial Guards outside the city, and there seems to be no cavalry. In this way, our cavalry can play a special role. Not to mention anything else, it is naturally not a problem to cut off their food and grass. Cavalry has the advantage of cavalry, and they attack them.

When you are in the city, attacking its flanks and rear can also play a big role. Even if it cannot affect the overall situation, it is a great thing to add a cavalry to our team."

The Wuwei Army outside the city was more difficult to deal with than Zhao Xun expected and was much faster. After resting outside the city for half a day, he began to attack in a full-scale attack. For a moment, the city walls became a battlefield again. The army of both sides gathered in the south.

The land is a desperate battle. One side wants to repel the enemy, and the other side wants to break through the city, and the battle continues.

The Wuwei Army did not continue to use the siege tower, but instead began to use a catapult to hit the city wall card. The Shanyang Army above the city wall was not vague, and also responded with a catapult. Over the battle between the two sides, huge stones filled the sky.

Feiwu. Even Zhao Xun didn't close his eyes for a day and night. He held a long bow and patrolled the city walls, killing and taking down powerful enemy soldiers and officers. There were more than twenty enemy officers who died at his hands.

The officers of the Wuwei Army were extremely afraid of a god archer on the city wall.

"Li Zhengwei sent back the news that Fan County has successfully taken over. More than 2,000 soldiers of the Wu Guard Army were willing to join our army. Half of the remaining more than 3,000 people were going back to the south, and half were unwilling to join the army again. They were willing to serve the people.

.For those who are willing to serve the people, we also consider them part of the people who are moving westward." Sun Zhuang reported softly.

Zhao Xun rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes slightly red and tired, and said in a deep voice: "Split the two thousand military guards into two parts, partly organized into Fan County, and partly organized into Qin Xiao's troops. In addition,

Let Li Guochang recruit new soldiers, impose training based on 5,000 people. Remember to impose training. In addition, according to the list of spies in Fan County, the large households in Fan County will buy grain at 80% of the market price.

.Anyone who blocks will search the house!”

"In addition, all the poor people and refugees in the city will move westward and pass between Changli County and Fengwei County. I will inform Qin Xiao to lock the eyes of the people in Xu Jie in the city."

"I understand!" Sun Zhuang responded.

"Let our people act boldly, there is nothing to worry about. It is already a fact that migrating the population. Xu Jie is now unable to take care of himself and will not regard this place as a key point."

Compared with the Shanyang Army's consecutive victories, the Yanzhou Prefecture Army has much more difficulties. It took five or six days of hard fighting to win a city. Since then, it is the same as the Xiaoguo Army now, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

"Come on, let Guan Lin come!" After thinking about it, Zhao Xun ordered.

After a while, Guan Lin rushed over and said, "General, it's already five days passed. Is it time for us to act? The brothers are complaining, and the brothers of the infantry are killing the enemy on the wall.

, but we were watching from below, it was really not a matter of... "

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It's your turn to take action!"

Zhao Xun said something and immediately made Guan Lin close his mouth. Then he hurriedly said: "General, when? When the enemy attacked the city, they will come out from the front?"

Zhao Xun shook his head, his face turned right, and said, "No, when the enemy attacks the city, you will come out from the rear of the enemy. At that time, we will also come out from the city, and we will take the two sides together. Now we have become the Wuwei Army and

Like us, we are exhausted. It is important to whether we can defeat them completely."

Guan Linzhensheng said: "Don't worry, General, my subordinates will definitely complete the task."

"Very good. Now, you come out from the north gate and pass the enemy's provocate eastward. In the afternoon, when the enemy is sieging the city, attack it behind it. You must focus all your energy on the attacking city.

At that time, it is best to break the city, and you can come out from behind." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice, "This is the cavalry officer I sent to tell you when is the best time.

”

"I will receive the order!" Guan Lin said with a solemn expression on his face. He knew that this time, they really became the key.

In the afternoon, the Wuwei Army launched another attack. At this time, Fengwei County was already dilapidated. If it weren't for the sand and stones inside the city gate, I'm afraid the city gate had been broken now. This is the first time since the last guard.

It has been five days. In just five days, the Wuwei Army only rested for one day, and continued to attack the city for the rest of the four days. Most of the female walls on the city wall have been smashed into pits. For this reason, the Shanyang Army in the city has also been

Four or five thousand casualties were paid, and the Wuwei Army outside the city was no exception, and even more. There are about six thousand people in the Wuwei Army participating in the siege.

At this moment, even the Wu Guard General Wei Qingyun did not expect that the Shanyang Army and Fengwei County, which he did not care about, would have blocked him for eight days, and the soldiers and generals were broken, and the troops in his hand had been broken.

As much as half, not to mention, the generals and colleagues in the rear were suspicious of his ability. Now, he has to fight even if he doesn't fight even if he doesn't.

"General, the Wuwei Army has started attacking again!"

"Go up to the city wall!" Zhao Xun said anxiously.

"Here, he's here again... These damn Wuwei soldiers are really not giving up!" On the city wall, the soldiers of Shanyang Army began to mutter. The soldiers nowadays are all soldiers who have experienced hard battles, although a few days ago

Many of them are still young and strong, but now they are definitely elites. Zhao Xun believes that with a little training, they can become elites in the army.

"Take the catapult... Damn, our catapult has been completely damaged." Lu Yu said hatefully.

"careful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun looked up and saw a dozen scattered stones slamming the walls of the black Wuwei Army and suddenly bounced up. With the deafening loud noise, huge stones were thrown into the air.

Flying and rolling towards the head of Fengwei County, these stones seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye it reached the top of the head, and then fell down with strong inertia.

"Does all!"

Zhao Xunli shouted, then stared straight at the huge rock and spiraled down. He got closer and closer to him, and it was not until he was about to hit the ground that he suddenly flashed to the side.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, the huge rock almost hit his body hard into the solid wall. The rammed earth wall was immediately smashed to depression, and a slight crack quietly penetrated the inside and outside of the wall, and the huge rock belt

The powerful air wave almost overturned Lu Yu and others who were hiding around to the ground.

"Is anyone injured?" Zhao Xun asked anxiously, because the huge rock fell to the place where the officers were gathered. If it weren't for hiding quickly, I'm afraid that the few officers present would have problems. Shanyang

The army originally lacked officers. Although many were drawn from the personal guard battalion, there were still no intermediate officers. He did not want several superior officers to be killed here. If that were the case, it would have a great blow to morale.

It's right.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Lu Yu said in a deep voice.

"Damn it, it's frustrating if there is no countermeasure!" Zhang Yongxue spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, sucking dust into his mouth and nose, and spitting it out. Suddenly, he heard a whistling sound in the sky, looked up in shock, and another huge rock hit the sky.

"boom……"

This huge rock as big as a millstone fell almost next to the original piece, hitting the cracks on the city wall violently. At this moment, Zhang Yongxue clearly felt that the entire city wall was trembling violently. In the city wall under his feet, suddenly,

It made a slight tremor and an inaudible slight sound.

"Boom...boom..."

Two more huge rocks hit the edge of the crack ruthlessly. The crack widened rapidly and extended toward the surroundings like spider silk.

"No, the city wall is about to collapse! Dodge, dodge..." The officer not far away found that the city wall began to sound slightly, and immediately exclaimed in anger. At this moment, another huge rock was smashed head-on.

A huge rock became the last straw that broke the camel's land.

"Boom..."

As smoke and dust filled the city walls of the blue land finally collapsed, and a gap more than ten feet wide appeared on the side of the east gate.

Behind the Wuwei Army's military formation, seeing the situation that had been waiting for a long time, Wei Qingyun immediately shouted: "Send the order, the whole army attack, and enter the city! Kill..."

Amid the deafening shouts, the Wuwei Army began to come quickly towards the gap.

On the city wall, looking at the soldiers of the Wuwei Army who were galloping towards him, Zhao Xun looked heavy and then shouted loudly: "Heavy infantry gap deployment, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen follow me and stop them. Archers are on the city wall.

Shooting on."

After saying that, Zhao Xun was about to pick up the spears of the dead soldiers next to him and leapt down from the city wall, but was stopped by Lu Yu and Zhang Yongxue.

"General, you can't go down. You are the commander of the entire army and the center of the morale of the soldiers. Only when you are here will the soldiers know that General, you are safe and you will not give in." Lu Yu said anxiously.

Zhao Xun knew that the two were dissuading him to avoid any accidents. He then thought about it and said, "Well, I am on the city wall to cheer for the soldiers." Then he drew out his long bow, pulled the bow and arrow, and

The enemy heavy infantry was shooting away. Although the enemy heavy infantry had heavy armor guards, Zhao Xun was still penetrated by the neck and killed him.

The Shanyang Army seized the armor of the Wuwei Army, and formed heavy infantry and sword and shield soldiers. The spearmen rushed towards the gap. More soldiers rushed down from the city towers on both sides of the gap and joined the blocking of the gap.

There were also many archers in the ranks, and the crossbowmen were still standing on the city tower. They were coldly pulling their bows and shooting arrows, and they didn't need to aim at them at all. Because there were more and more people under the city tower, all the heads of enemy soldiers, and they could shoot with their eyes closed.

middle.

The fierce battle took place in an instant at the outer edge of the gap. Although the Wuwei Army was well-equipped and brave and good at fighting, they encountered the most tenacious resistance here! Every step forward had to pay the price of bleeding! However, in order to block the Wuwei Army's advance

The Shanyang Army also suffered even more casualties!

The gap is only ten feet wide, like a huge meat grinder, swallowing fresh life frantically.

"Fight to the death and never retreat!" Zhang Yongxue also jumped down from the city wall, picked up several enemy soldiers in a row, and shouted loudly.

"Fight to death and never retreat!"
Chapter completed!
