Chapter 155 The Two Meet
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the county government office, listening to the reports of the soldiers below. When he heard that Xie Hongfang was raising troops to come towards him, he considered for a moment and said: "Incorporate all the soldiers into the army and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
"Sir!" There were five people standing in the hall. In addition to Wang and Liu, the other three were the class leader and his daughter, and there was also a young man whose identity was unknown. The one who spoke was Wang Er, who hesitated to speak.
.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know what you want to say, but we don't have enough troops now. Without this group of soldiers, we may not be able to use it."
The five people below him bowed and said: "Yes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the five people leaving, looked in Qianxi's direction and murmured: "Attack him!"
Xie Hongfang looked at the letter in his hand repeatedly, and Xue Cong said: "Brother Xie, don't worry, Zhao's foundation is not stable at the moment. You and I will definitely be able to defeat it in one attack. Besides, there are many old brothers in the city. He can cooperate inside and outside."
I can wait!"
Xie Hongfang put away the letter in his hand as if he had taken reassurance, and said to the sergeant on the side: "Send a fast horse to contact General Wei. You must see General Wei with your own eyes!"
"yes!"
When Xue Cong saw this scene, he just looked at it without making a sound. Xie Hongfang said to Xue Cong: "Military advisor, it's not that I'm suspicious, but that soldiers live and die where they live. It's right to be more cautious."
"Brother Xie has a far-reaching view," Xue Cong said with a smile on his face.
Xie Hongfang said to the ordering soldiers on the side: "I ordered you to go down and march with all your strength. You must arrive around Qingjian County in the evening. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"yes!"
"March with full force!"
On the other side, the gate of Qianxi County slowly opened and a troop of two thousand people came out, led by a strong man.
"Set off!"
The army moved forward slowly.
The people of Qingjian County were a little frightened when they saw the soldiers rushing on the streets, and the suspicion of war was buried in everyone's hearts.
In the evening, Xie Hongfang looked at the vague outline of Qingjian City and said bitterly: "Zhao Sheng, if this villain dares to betray me, I will cut him into pieces!"
Xue Cong looked at Qingjian who was on guard and said: "Brother Xie, why don't we wait for General Wei to come and attack the city together?"
Xie Hongfang nodded and said: "That's fine, let the brothers bury the pot and make rice, eat and drink enough to go into battle to kill the enemy!"
"yes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the smoke in the distance and asked Wang Er beside him: "Have everything been arranged?"
"Everything has been arranged, but can your lord, with the four thousand of us, be able to withstand the strong attack of Xie Hongfang's eight thousand men?" Wang Er said with some hesitation.
"You have to resist even if you can't!" Zhu Yuanzhang said sternly.
"We must let San'er and the others hold these people back. We must bite them to death. I will fight with you this time!"
"Sir, this is not acceptable!" Wang Er immediately retorted.
"Okay, you go down first." Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and looked at Yunhe County.
The breeze caused the flags to make a fierce sound, and a sound of breaking through the air rang out in the Qingjian. Countless arrows and burning flints hit the top of the Qingjian city. For a time, sparks flew from the top of the city, and the entire Qingjian turned into a sea of fire.
Seeing this, Xie Hongfang nodded and ordered: "Attack!"
The sound of war drums spread all around, and the army advanced in an orderly manner. The simple siege equipment crashed towards the city gate. Before the two collided, only a creaking sound was heard. The city gate opened, and groups of people emerged from the fire.
Rush out.
When the people attacking the city saw the people rushing out of the fire, they were horrified like evil spirits from hell and said: "Ghost! Ghost!"
The momentum of the crowd suddenly weakened, and the formation began to disperse. Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead with a big sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Wang Er looked at Zhu Yuanzhang killing the enemy and found that he could not understand the adult in front of him more and more. He could only rush to the side to protect him. Soon the opponent fled. Looking at the people who were gradually killing him, Zhu Yuanzhang gave a sharp shout.
: "Everyone go back!"
Only then did everyone stop and retreat into the city. Houses were burned to the ground and blackened everywhere in the city. Many people were wailing in the ruins. The soldiers on the street were helping to extinguish the flames in the city and evacuate the wounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered: "Place the injured brothers, and the others will follow me up the city wall to defend against the enemy!"
Xie Hongfang looked at the defeated people and yelled: "A bunch of trash!"
"Brother Xie, calm down, I seem to vaguely see Zhao Sheng's figure," Xue Cong said.
"What?" Xie Hongfang was shocked.
"He actually went to the battlefield in person." No matter what, Xie Hongfang could not believe that Zhao Sheng, a weak scholar, dared to carry a sword and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
On the other side, a group of troops appeared on the outskirts of Yunhe County. Liu San looked at the garrison in Yunhe County and said: "Let the brothers be prepared, and the news must not be leaked."
"yes!"
In Yunhe County, Zhao Chengchu asked: "Have you found out everything?"
"It's basically clear. There are about a thousand defenders in the fort, and there are still 1,500 old and weak people in the city," the person next to him replied.
"Get ready for action!"
"Yes, Lord Beggar!"
Late at night, a group of people dressed in night clothes sneaked into the area around Tu's mansion. Everyone looked at the guards outside Tu's mansion and immediately took action and knocked down the guards guarding the door.
Then he immediately sneaked into Tu's Mansion. When he entered Tu's Mansion, he suddenly heard a sharp shout: "Who is that?"
The sound suddenly stopped and a sharp arrow penetrated him. People around him immediately shouted: "There is an assassin!"
Tu Yuanwai heard the noise outside and said in a daze: "What's the noise about?" Then he stood up, lifted off the quilt and got up from the two women.
"Master, there is an assassin!" a voice came from outside the house.
"What?" Tu Yuanwai said anxiously, "Hurry up and call someone!"
"I understand, sir."
Tu Yuanwai opened the closet on the side to reveal a hidden compartment, and said to the two people on the bed: "Hurry in!"
The two of them walked into the secret passage with their shoulders slightly exposed. Tu Yuanwai walked into the secret passage and pressed it, and the closet returned to its original state.
Tu's mansion was turned inside out and no one could be seen except Tu. The leading figure said: "Evacuate!"
A servant of Yunhe County's Yamen Tu Mansion broke into the county government office and shouted: "General Fei, there are assassins attacking the manor. Please take people to see it quickly!"
"What?" General Fei immediately said: "Come, come with me immediately to defend Master Tu."
As he spoke, he rushed towards Tu Mansion with his men, while Liu San from the other side shouted: "Brothers, follow me!"
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
Everyone rushed towards Yunhe County, and the defender standing on the top of the city immediately said anxiously: "Hurry, there is an enemy attack!"
But before everyone could react, several people suddenly appeared on the top of the city and started killing everyone.
Liu San looked at the opened city gate and rushed in immediately. The defenders were immediately repelled and shrank towards the county government.
"Brothers, kill me!"
The smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air stimulated the two sides in the fierce battle. The Yunhe County defenders fought and retreated until they reached the county government office. When they saw the empty county government office, their faces turned ashen.
Liu San stood up at this time and said: "Put down your weapons or you will die!"
