The Han soldiers who slipped out of Ding County all knew not to approach Wu Nian's camp at night.

At daybreak, the Han soldiers who had left the city came cheering to join Wu Nian's army. When the soldiers guarding the camp saw this situation, they were not nervous, but they still did not dare to open the camp door to greet them, but reported the situation to them.

Wu Nian had already gotten up and was holding a cloth soaked in hot water to wash his face.

A soldier came in from outside and told Wu Nian what happened.

Wu Nian was very calm, not surprised at all. While wiping his face, he said: "All the Han soldiers who came to surrender were all disarmed. They were arranged in the camp vacated by Tieniu and were strictly guarded."

"But you must also treat them well, kill pigs and sheep, and cook broth for them to eat. I will go to visit them later."

"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.

"It's just a sieve that leaks air everywhere." Wu Nian smiled. After washing his face, he asked his soldiers to pour the water, get food and wine, and ate and drank.

After finishing breakfast for three ordinary strong men, Wu Nian wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked his soldiers to come in and put on his armor. After cheering up, he led a group of soldiers to surrender.

In the camp where the Han soldiers are located.

"Get up. Get up. The general is here."

The soldiers of Wu Nian's army who were responsible for guarding loudly called out the Han soldiers who were coming to surrender, and gathered in the open space. Wu Nian stood in front of them with his sword pressed, looked at them, and showed a satisfied look.

There were about two hundred men, all strong and good soldiers.

It's really hard work on those Han commanders. They have been training for two years. Now they are all my soldiers.

Wu Nian moistened his throat, and then said loudly and energetically: "Brothers, don't worry. The reason why I destroyed your weapons and sent troops to guard you is not because I don't trust you. It's because I'm afraid that there will be people with ulterior motives among you.

.”

"When Ding County is conquered, I will send people to recruit you."

"From now on, we are all Han soldiers, real Han soldiers. Han soldiers who fight against the Mongolians together."

"I, Wu Nian, am your general and your brother."

"I won't treat you badly."

Although Wu Nian's voice was majestic, it was not as majestic as his reputation. The blood of the two hundred or so Han soldiers who came to surrender was already boiling with passion when they looked at Wu Nian's face.

After hearing Wu Nian's majestic voice and kind words, everyone held their heads high, raised their right hands and shouted loudly: "General! General! General!"

They exhausted all their strength and kept calling for the general.

Wu Nian smiled slightly, showing pride.

Climb high and give a shout, and followers will gather.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised troops to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, but it was nothing more than that.

.........

Yuan County.

Unlike Ding County, which is already crumbling, Yuan County not only has strong city defense, but also has stable people's hearts.

After receiving Li Shanniu's request for reinforcements, Chen Tushan immediately summoned his commander, county magistrate, and county magistrate in the county government office.

Chen Tushan, wearing a traditional Meng Yuan leather jacket, looked up at the crowd and said with a sneer: "Wu Nian thinks I am a fool. He is good at surrounding the city and ambushing reinforcements."

"He surrounded Ding County, obviously trying to set a trap for me."

"Although I'm a little sorry for Li Shanniu, I can only say one thing. When a disaster is approaching, everyone should sweep the snow away from their doorsteps."

Among the tens of thousands of Han captains under Chen Tushan, in addition to Kong Yun, there was one named Zheng Heng and the other named Yang Liu, both of whom were strong and powerful men in their early thirties.

They are much more loyal.

Otherwise, Chen Tushan would not dare to let Kong Yun give Wu Nian a false surrender letter, hoping to lure Wu Nian to lead his troops and win an ambush.

"What your Lord is saying is that when a disaster strikes, both husband and wife will have to fly separately. What's more, we have no friendship with Li Shanniu." Kong Yun raised his head and said with cupped hands.

Anyway, he had made up his mind to defend the city and never go out.

It’s so scary outside. The Liaodong Tigers.

Zheng Heng and Yang Liu also meant the same thing and couldn't help but nodded together.

As for the county magistrate and the county magistrate, under such circumstances, they are just decorations, and no one cares about them.

Chen Tushan was very satisfied with this, but with a stern look on his face, he glanced at the three Han commanders and said, "Although I believe you, I still have to tell you."

"Then Xun Jun sent Wu Nian a letter of surrender, but he sold it to Wu Nian. Wu Nian will never let you Han captains go. If we defend Yuan County, we will wait for reinforcements sooner or later."

"If we abandon the city, Wanhu will not let us go. We have no other choice. Let's fight for it."

"yes."

Kong Yun and the other three looked serious, and stood up together and held their hands in agreement.

Everyone quickly left the main room. Only Chen Tushan slowly walked out of the door, turned around and looked in the direction of Dingxian County, raised his head and said confidently: "Wu Nian. Wu Nian. Although you are a Liaodong tiger, I don't know how to do it."

I'm afraid of you. It's easy for you to win Ding County, but it's absolutely impossible for you to win my Yuan County."

.........

morning.

Ding County.

Wu Nian personally led his troops to the south of Ding County and set up camp three days later. Today, many Han soldiers left the city and defected to Wu Nian.

Although Li Shanniu controlled the families of the captains and centurions, he could not control the families of all the soldiers.

At present, the number of Han soldiers who have come to join Wu Nian has exceeded 60%, almost 2,000.

In other words, the total number of Han soldiers and Mongolian Yuan soldiers in Ding County was only about two to three thousand.

Like a candle in the wind, it is not worth mentioning.

Inside the big tent.

Wu Nian was neatly dressed, sitting on a small bench, drinking warm hot wine. Next to him were Zhang Jin and Long Qi, and in front of him stood a spy.

"Go down." Wu Nian waved his hand and asked the spies to go down. Then he squeezed the wine bowl and took a big sip of wine, his face slightly rosy.

"There is no movement in Yuan County. It seems that Tieniu's ambush is destined to fail."

"Beate the drums and attack the city. I will enter Dingxian City for lunch at noon."

Wu Nian put down the wine bowl and said to Zhang Jin, Long Qie. His eyes were sharp and as bright as stars.

"Don't worry, General. Wait until noon. Let alone having dinner in the city, General, there are beauties there." Long Qie stood up and said with a smile.

Zhang Jin chuckled and stood up too. They both bowed to Wu Nian and then turned around and went down.

“Dong dong dong!!!!”

The drums sounded immediately.

Zhang Jin and Long Qie divided the six soldiers from a thousand households under his command into two parts. Two of the elite soldiers from a thousand households were responsible for guarding the camp.

Four elite soldiers from a thousand households pushed heavy weapons out of the camp gate and prepared to attack the city.

Among them, two elite soldiers from a thousand households are the vanguard, and the other two elite soldiers from a thousand households are the reserve team.

Long Qie and Zhang Jin rode their horses to the front of the army amidst the rumbling of drums. Long Qie pulled out the steel knife from his waist, raised it to the sky, and said loudly: "Brothers, the general has given instructions. He wants to

Went into town for lunch.”
