Under the moonlight, a group of soldiers lined up under the Dongcheng Gate of Zhangzhou, with a total of two or three thousand people.

Behind, two huge cloud beam chariots were daunting. Each cloud chariot could board hundreds of bows and soldiers. The city of Zhangzhou was not high, so the cloud chariot could suppress the fire from a high place.

There is no moat in Zhangzhou, but it is surrounded by Zhangshui River to the west and south, and there are mostly hills to the north, and there are also high mountains and military camps at the foot of the mountain to guard against the enemy of the Han Dynasty’s invasion.

And there is only one option for the Dongcheng Gate to attack the city from Quanzhou.

Chen Hongjin looked at the closed city gate and the soldiers who were already waiting for the battle on the city wall, but he could not hear the shouts of killing in the city.

Chen Hongjin was the commander-in-chief of the Qingyuan Army. The first commander of the army under King Liu Congxiao of Jinjiang, and the most trusted confidant of the King of Jinjiang.

This time, Chen Hongjin wanted to advance together in Zhangzhou, but there was an insider in the city. Originally, Zhangzhou City should be at your fingertips.

But I didn't expect that early, a hundred miles away, the scout he sent encountered the other scout.

Chen Hongjin made a quick decision and ordered his powerful general Li Hong to lead the cavalry to advance at full speed. Today, the soldiers guarding the city gate of Dongcheng City had already received information. When they saw Quanzhou soldiers and the lieutenant, they would open the city. When they heard the sound of killing, the city should also cause trouble. If Li Hong could directly capture the Donghai Duke Lu Ning, it would be great. If he was blocked for a while, he would retreat. He just needed to guard the Dongcheng City Gate and wait for the brigade to come to help, but he did not expect that neither goal seemed to have been achieved.

Chen Hongjin gave a few instructions in the ear of a deputy general beside him.

The deputy general came out of the horse, went to the city gate, and shouted: "Is Donghai Gong here?"

Standing in the city tower, Lu Ning also looked at the dark infantry under the moonlight. They did not raise the Qingyuan Army flag. Obviously, this time the city had already thought of a word.

"I am here! Where are you soldiers? Are you soldiers of the Han Dynasty?" Lu Ning shouted loudly.

The deputy general shouted coldly: "My brigade commander is Chen Hongjin, the commander of the Qingyuan Army. However, he was brought by us. Donghai Gong was extremely debauchery, his wives, concubines and maids were not distinguished, and he lost all his ethics! He framed and framed him and deposed loyal and kind officials! The anger of heaven and people has aroused the public anger of the Quanzhang army and the people! How can this bright sun and moon allow the Gong to come? We little soldiers came for the way of heaven and advised them to leave Zhangzhou quickly and not let us little soldiers commit crimes of rebellion!"

When Lu Ning heard the general scolding his crime righteously, he laughed in his heart, and it was an old routine.

From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the ten countries of the Five Dynasties have been like this. The powerful faction has caused rebellion, and they are all so-called "rebellious soldiers" who kill or drive away officials appointed by the court. Then, the powerful faction has quelled the rebellion and claimed to be in the future, and the central government can only abide by it.

The King of Jinjiang Liu Cong was indeed decisive. Seeing that the situation was not good, he directly used a killer move.

However, Liu Congyu's brother resigned as the governor of Zhangzhou to test the Tang Lord. Now that the result is coming, the Tang Lord sent someone to take over, and he has long wanted to truly gain the rule of Quanzhang Land.

Liu Congxiao sent troops to drive him away, but the excuse he used was used to be used by countless vassal states that had respected themselves, so he naturally found a new backer.

Historically, after the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated by Zhou and lost the land of Jiangbei, Liu Congxiao then praised Zhou.

But now, the new backer of Liu Congxiao is naturally not the Zhou Kingdom, and the Southern Han Dynasty is weak, so most of the backer of Wu and Yue Kingdom is the Wu and Yue Kingdom.

That's why he blatantly wanted to drive away or even kill himself, the Duke of Tang County.

Judging from his army and horses, he was afraid that all the elite troops would be released. Although he tried his best to maintain his military equipment, the population of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou was limited, and the number of troops left in Congxia was only 5,000. Now, more than half of them were sent.

The brigade coach Chen Hongjin, who led the team, seemed to be the last vassal state of the Qingyuan Army. After the death of the Liu brothers, Liu Congxiao's son was young and was seized by Chen Hongjin.

Therefore, in this era of warlord separatism, loyalty and so on are relative. Now Chen Hongjin is not loyal to Liu Congyi? That is absolutely loyal and has no slight intention. But Liu Congyi died. It would be extremely difficult to continue to be loyal to Liu Congyi's youngest son.

"Duke Donghai, go back to your Donghai to ensure your wealth and glory. Our military and civilians have already written to the Holy Emperor and ask the Duke Donghai to return to the vassal!"

The general downstairs shouted loudly.

"I beg you to return to the vassal state!"

"I beg you to return to the vassal state!"

"I beg you to return to the vassal state!"

The sound of mountains and tsunamis was yelling, and the soldiers of Quanzhou shouted in unison.

In the night, countless birds were shocked.

"What if I don't go back!" Lu Ning said lightly, but his voice spread throughout the wilderness.

"Then we can only advise you with your life!" The deputy general waved his hand.

Immediately, the horn sounded, and the soldiers carrying cloud ladders slowly moved forward. The two cloud chariots behind the battle formation were also slowly pushed.

There was still no internal response in the city to shout and kill. Chen Hongjin frowned slightly. What happened?

I don’t believe that even if Li Hong’s cavalry and the inner responders of the city did not enter the Donghai Gong’s official residence, they could always retreat to the North City Gate, right? Even if the North City Gate could not be defended, they could always see the defeated soldiers themselves. They could not be killed all of them, right?

Taking another step back, although he felt that this was a sure win, Li Hong was cautious in his work and must have left a scout outside the city. If something happens, he can repay him. Where did these spies go?

"Donghai Gong, don't force me to wait for the young soldiers!" The general shouted at the top of his lungs under the city gate.

A horn suddenly sounded on the city tower. Immediately, from the battlements, cold weapons poked out, and there were clusters of arrows with bows and arrows, reflecting a terrifying light under the moonlight.

The Donghai Gong was speechless. Obviously, he was too lazy to say anything, and he had no time to scold the King of Jinjiang for his hypocrisy. If you want to fight, then fight!

The deputy general turned around and looked in the direction of Chen Hongjin. Chen Hongjin gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Siege the city!"

The personal soldiers behind him immediately waved the order flag, and the horn sounded again.

"kill!"

The cloud ladders arrived at the head of Zhangzhou City, and the cloud carts arrived a hundred steps away from Zhangzhou City, and the archers climbed up one after another.

From the head of Zhangzhou, suddenly, black stones fell one after another, and soldiers were hit and screamed in pain.

Soon the soldiers at the city discovered that this was not a fallen rock, but a black iron lump.

The deputy general picked up one, held it in his arms and ran to Chen Hongjin.

Chen Hongjin frowned slightly, but saw that the iron lump was round, but he left a mouth. He looked in from his mouth and couldn't tell anything.

What a mess? Chen Hongjin threw it aside and used iron blocks as rocks? Is this Donghai Public sick? It's not very big, so what kind of damage will it be?

"Kill!" Quanzhou soldiers holding a shield had already begun to climb the cloud ladder, and the bowmen on the cloud car also bent their bows one after another, and the rain of arrows fell to the top of Zhangzhou city.

On the battlements, wooden shields were immediately erected, and from the gaps in the shield, there were swords, spears and other objects, poking towards the Quanzhou soldiers who were climbing to the top of the cloud ladder.

The shouts of killing sounds loudly.

The archer on the cloud car stopped after a few rounds of arrow rains. This kind of firepower suppression was used to deal with the opponent's archers, but the opponent did not use the archers to harass the archers at all. Their setting up cloud ladders, etc. were all very smooth. Now both sides have fought in battles, and even began to have their own soldiers climbed the city wall and shoot arrows again, which would be equivalent to an indiscriminate attack.

On the top of the city, more and more soldiers from Quanzhou were going up. Below the city of the city, there were also dense soldiers, and even the top of their heads was no longer blocked with shields. They all rushed towards the ladder. Seeing that the city of Zhangzhou was about to break in front of them, everyone was competing for merit, and they wanted to be the soldiers who would climb to the top of the city and kill the Donghai Gong's personal army.

Chen Hongjin shook his head, thinking that he could be free from blood, but he didn't expect that Donghai Duke's personal army was extremely tenacious.

Yes, the Tuman from the Han territory was defeated by their personal army in a short time, and it seems that these soldiers should not be underestimated.

However, the Tumans were originally a mob, but they brought them all the elites of the Qingyuan Army. The King of Jinjiang had already dismissed his initial contempt for Donghai Gong, but went to another extreme. Today, he actually wanted to command the army himself and allocate 3,000 elite troops to defend the army, in order to ensure that everything was foolproof.

It seems that this war, which cannot be called a war, will soon end.

However, where did this guy Li Hong go with his cavalry?

Chen Hongjin frowned slightly.
