"The traitor Jiu'an is ambitious and his crime of splitting the cadre is unforgivable!"
During the conquest of Chenxi, Song Yang asked Song Chengwang to write a proclamation.
Firstly, it showed that he was a famous scholar, and secondly, it also allowed Song Chengwang to show off his literary talent in front of Liu Yuhua.
Not to mention, there are some effects.
After listening to Song Chengwang's appeal, Liu Yuhua also had a changed view of him.
At least he wouldn't simply think that Song Chengwang is a big boss.
As for Song Yang, he was not very satisfied with Song Chengwang's appeal.
The effect was not very good, mainly because most of the people in Yuanling City did not understand the content of the message.
"Ahem!"
After reading the message, there was no response from Chengtou, which made Song Yang very embarrassed.
He coughed and looked back at Feng Yue.
Feng Yuexin understood and rode out.
"Yuanling is the Yuanling of Daqian! The Qianzhong Road is the Qianzhong Road of Daqian! Folks in the city, you are all the people of Daqian! Don't follow the thief Jiu'an and go astray!"
"Hurry up and put down your weapons, leave the city and surrender, otherwise we will all be destroyed by the sound of artillery!"
Feng Yue shouted angrily.
"Where are these madmen coming from! Shoot arrows!" Chengtou finally reacted.
Although they were shooting arrows, it also showed that they were worried that the people would be incited by Feng Yue.
Feng Yue’s words are effective!
Arrows were fired from the top of the city, and Feng Yue immediately retreated.
"Is Jiu'an in the city?" Song Yang asked.
"Your Majesty, Jiu'an went to Qianshan stronghold yesterday, and the guard of Yuanling is his eldest son Juluo." Someone immediately reported the information.
When Song Yang's army arrived, the spies operating in Chenzhou immediately sent comprehensive and specific information.
There are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yuanling City, who are close followers of Jiu'an's eldest son Juluo.
Jiu An knew yesterday that Song Yang was leading an army to attack, so he was a little flustered and ran to Qianshan Village at the foot of Wuling Mountain in advance.
"Your Majesty, although Juluo is Jiu'an's son, he is not on good terms with Jiu'an. He has his own cronies and soldiers, and often disobeys Jiu'an's orders. Jiu'an keeps him because he wants him to do what he wants. Cannon fodder consumes our troops."
The spy added.
The spies have long figured out the relationships between the characters in Jiu An's camp.
"How strong is Juluo and his men and horses?" Song Yang asked again.
"Very weak! We will be defeated in one battle!" the spy said without thinking.
"Your Majesty." Liu Manqing spoke at this time.
"Juluo's soldiers and horses are not weak."
What Liu Manqing said was different from what the spies reported.
Song Yang tilted his head and looked at the female thief and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Liu Manqing asked: "The assessment of Ju Luo's combat power obtained by your detective horse should have been obtained from the battle between Ju Luo and my people, right?"
Song Yang looked back at Feng Yue. Feng Yue immediately asked and got a positive answer after a while.
There has been a lot of friction between Jiu An and the Liu siblings in recent years.
Ju Luo, who was stationed in Yuanling, was ordered by Jiu An to do things over Chenxi several times.
During these frictions, Juluo's soldiers and horses were pinned to the ground and rubbed by Liu Jinpeng every time.
That's why the detectives came to the conclusion that Ju Luo was a weakling.
"Ju Luo is not weak, but on the contrary very strong. The weakness he shows is just for Jiu An to see." Liu Manqing put it bluntly.
In fact, this was discovered by Liu Jinpeng.
During those several frictions, although Juluo's men were defeated, none of Juluo's men was captured.
And according to the words of his subordinates, those Juluo subordinates are extremely skilled. They fall down when touched and run away when hit.
This is simply impossible. Those people look so big and round, they must be elite soldiers. No matter how weak they are, they will never be that weak.
So in the end, combined with the discord between Ju Luo and Jiu An, Liu Jinpeng guessed that Ju Luo was pretending to show off to Jiu An!
After Liu Manqing finished telling what he knew, he also talked about some of the previous fights with Ju Luo's men.
It can be regarded as providing some intelligence support for Song Yang.
Song Yang, Niu Laosan, Wang Yongning and other generals thought it over together and decided to follow the most stable attack method and attack for a while first.
"Boom boom boom!"
The cannons fired, rubble flew from the city wall, and the defenders were unable to fight back.
After a round of artillery fire, the bandits didn't fire a single arrow.
"Try charging once!" Niu Laosan waved his hand, and his elite men rushed over carrying the ladder.
"Be careful to avoid!"
"Watch out for arrows!"
The soldiers of the Renaissance Army rushed closer, and a large number of enemy troops immediately stood up at the top of the city, throwing javelins and firing bows and arrows at the city.
"Hey! It's interesting. He can overcome the fear of artillery!" Song Yang couldn't help but admired.
It is normal for news of artillery to reach Yuanling. Artillery has been used in the Beidi War for a long time, and Chenzhou must have sent many spies to Tanzhou.
There is no shortage of information in this area.
But intelligence is intelligence. In the face of real artillery attacks, the soldiers can still hold on to the city wall, which is very good!
"Sure enough, as you said, Ju Luo is indeed very capable." Song Yang turned to look at you, Liu Manqing.
Liu Manqing smiled and said: "If you have more exposure, you will naturally know something."
Song Yang said nothing more and continued to watch the battle ahead.
Niu Laosan asked someone to rush him once and then withdrew.
There was no chaos at the top of the city, but the casualties in the forced assault were too high.
You still have to use hot weapons to continue firing.
Then the artillery began to show its power continuously.
Such powerful firepower shocked Liu Manqing. The firearms Song Yang held in the battle of Changsha back then were definitely not as powerful as they are now!
In particular, the cannon had a greater visual impact on Liu Manqing.
With one shot, even the battlements flew away.
If Yuanling hadn't been rebuilt last year, the city wall might have been blown down by now.
Yuanling is in danger in this battle.
But it was never captured until dusk, when Song Yang asked Niu Laosan to withdraw his troops temporarily.
"Damn it! Isn't this Juluo showing weakness to Jiu'an? Why doesn't he show weakness now! He's so stubborn!" Niu Laosan came back cursing.
In one afternoon, he lost nearly a hundred elite men.
He suffered a setback in the first game, which made him very unhappy.
"Old San, don't be so frustrated. There must be something we don't know about in this city. Maybe Juluo is planning to fall out with his father, so he doesn't want to hide his strength." Song Yang patted Niu Lao San on the shoulder and persuaded him.
.
"Your Majesty, I promise to capture Yuanling tomorrow!" Niu Laosan patted his chest and promised.
"Hey! Don't be impatient, just fight slowly and slowly. A little bit of grinding can wear down the city wall for him. A hard attack will only increase casualties!"
Song Yang comforted Niu Laosan and then said to everyone:
"This Juluo no longer retains his strength, so he must have some agenda. This Yuanling must not be defended. If Juluo and Jiu'an really don't get along, there is no need for him to guard a dead city."
"So now we should find out the situation in the city."
Song Yang looked at Feng Yue. When he arrived in Yuanling, he took over the work of scouting horses and was responsible for collecting intelligence.
"Your Majesty, maybe I have a way." Before Feng Yue could speak, Liu Manqing took the initiative to speak.
Liu Manqing is now helping Song Yang wholeheartedly in order to gain Song Yang's trust so that he can continue to support her in revenge.
"Your Majesty! We can also get the information!" Feng Yue said not to be outdone.
"It's up to you to do this." Song Yang looked at Liu Manqing.
Liu Manqing immediately clasped her fists and accepted the order: "The common people will do it immediately!"
She knew this was Song Yang's test for her.
Liu Manqing left the Chinese army's tent and immediately rode out of the military camp with Jiang Fei and four or five cronies.
Liu Yuhua wanted to follow him at the gate, but was severely rejected by Liu Manqing.
"Manying...Yuhua! You stay here! Only if you are here can the prince trust us more!"
"I...well, be careful on the road!"
…
The female thief and his party circled around Yuanling for most of the time. On a hill in the west of the city, Liu Manqing found an old farmer.
"Uncle Zheng!" Liu Manqing shouted.
The old man was startled, and became happy again when he saw Liu Manqing.
"Miss! Miss, are you okay? The old man has been worried about you these days!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng. We are safe now."
"Hey! The matter of the second young master..."
"Uncle Zheng. Let's not mention my second brother. I'm here with a mission this time. Let me ask you, what happened in Yuanling City? Why did Juluo become so determined to defend the city?"
Liu Manqing asked directly, the military situation is urgent, and the sooner the information is obtained, the more time Song Yang will have to operate.
"Miss, several leaders and elders came to the city yesterday. Jiu An left early in the morning, and those people came at noon. After arriving, he stayed in the Yamen and never came out. At noon
The old man ran out just before the city gate was put under martial law!"
Uncle Zheng is an old and loyal servant of Liu. He was sent to Yuanling by Liu Jinpeng to spy on intelligence.
He was dressed like an old farmer, and no one paid much attention to him.
So Uncle Zheng has been living in Yuanling for the past two years, and he also opened a field on the hillside here to focus on grain and vegetables.
The more this is the case, the less anyone will doubt him.
"Elder Chief?" Liu Manqing frowned.
"It seems that the problem lies here!"
"Let's go! Go back immediately!"
After finding the reason, Liu Manqing immediately got back on the horse.
"Miss! Where are you going?" Uncle Zheng asked anxiously.
"Uncle Zheng, don't worry! We have now taken refuge with King Jiangzhou, and the ones attacking Yuanling are King Jiangzhou's men! Uncle Zheng is waiting for me here. After we capture Yuanling, I will send someone to pick you up!"
After Liu Manqing finished speaking, she pulled the reins and left.
Uncle Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the group of people going away and sighed: "Oh! I hope this Jiangzhou King is more reliable. At least he can save the young lady! The Liu family is just one person! Alas!"
…
Liu Manqing and his entourage left and came back just as quickly, taking less than two hours to go back and forth.
Seeing them coming back, Song Yang was also stunned. They were so fast!
Song Yang immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.
When Liu Manqing explained the matter, Niu Laosan frowned and said:
"The leader? Elder? Juluo is protecting them?"
Wang Yongning shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Juluo knew that we were going to fight, and he brought the leaders and elders to Yuanling City. Is this protection or frame-up?"
"Would he want to use our help to get rid of dissidents?" Song Chengwang guessed.
"Perhaps it was to coerce the leaders and elders to send troops to rescue Yuan Ling." Liu Manqing also said.
Song Yang silently listened to everyone's analysis, raised his head and thought for a while before saying: "There are various possibilities, but at present, it seems that the more likely one is for rescue."
"Let's see, we'll send more scouting horses tomorrow, nearby..."
"Beep beep! beep beep beep!"
"Beep beep! beep beep beep!"
Before Song Yang finished speaking, a whistle suddenly sounded outside the battalion commander.
